Hi, my fiance has this Fender Strat guitar but he doesn't play. We have no idea what the value of this may be, and what we should do with it. Any help is appreciated from the experts out there.

It says Fender Stratocaster Made in Mexico, Serial MN8277259. It's black and white (I'll try to figure out how to post a pic if that helps).

Do music shops buy used guitars? Sorry, we're pretty clueless about what to do with it.

Thank you!

Info on this serial number:

guitar was made at the
Ensenada Plant (Fender), Mexico
in the Year(s): 1998 - 1999

I'm assuming this is a Standard MIM strat?

Brand new Mexican made Standard Strats are around $500 without a case. If you look at completed listings on Ebay, you see many used strats like that sell for $225 to $300 (if w/Case)

That's you're most likely ball park for private sale if you have a case, (not a gig bag) and it's all original.

Music stores WILL buy used gear, but they're probably going to low ball you to death. ($150/$175 is my guess) you may try consignment at a local store, but they're gonna take a fee for that.

If you don't have an Ebay account with any sellers history, try your local paper classifieds, or maybe Craigslist, but be careful. there's a ton of creeps on CL.

Good luck
/Ray
