Hello folks. I have a 1981 MIJ 61 Vintage Reissue Fender Strat in olympic white - a beautiful guitar. I recently gave it to my son ('cos I love him!), who is going away to university soon, so I was thinking about getting it insured for him. The thing is, nowadays the insurance companies all talk about "new for old" - but what would be the equivalent new guitar for this?
Thanks
Andy

Fender Japan still makes a 1962 Reissue model - actually a few different versions.
Maybe that would count.

Fender Japan has a DiMarzio Collection which are fantastic guitars. They have a 54, 57 and 62 reissues among others. They play great, feel great and of course sound great. Really nice thin nitro finish too.

Does your MIJ look like mine? I ask because I do know mine has a vintage style pick guard, and I know its MIJ. As well I know its an 87 model I bought new in January of 88. Just curious. Thank you.

They are pretty cool MIJ guitars. How to buy one? Well, where do you live? Availability differs by country. And Japanese music stores aren't supposed to sell to some countries. Used models have less restrictions. I have done business with Ishibashi.
