A '59 Strat in 'mint' condition?

If it's a real 1959 Strat in mint condition then a vintage guitar specialist or auction house.

If it's a Squier Affinity with Fender decals then Craigslist.

If it's a mint real 1959, and not a reissue, eBay is the last place you want to go. Christie's or Sotheby's are more likely places. But get it appraised first.

If it's a '59 reissue, they're so common that they're a dime a dozen. Unless it's masterbuilt, don't expect much.

This is a great place to get advice. Just don't ask about capacitors.

This is alittle strange. Someone on craigslist in pgh has advertised a 59 fender strat for sell for 400 dollars. Of course it's not a 59 strat but this odd.
