An acquaintance needs money and wants to sell me an old Fender guitar his dad gave him. Sad, really. Laid off and hard times. He doesn't want to pawn it for a song.

He says it is a Stratocaster and that it plays. I have no idea what it is worth. It looks to me as though it in rough shape. It's in a soft bag rather than a case. No amp.

Can you recommend a good place to research how to find the year it was made? Once I know that, where can I get an range of what it might be worth?

Any help is appreciated. I am in way over my head.

Ask your friend to get you the serial number. That'll help you determine where it was made, and thus how valuable it is.

Stick it in there and tell us the results. And yes, pictures would help if at all possible (though I understand they might be awkward to get).
