Hi

I was offered a 70's Fender strat for RM6500. RM is the Malaysian currency. That is about US$2093.73.

Here is the ad:

http://www.mudah.my/Fender+vintage+guitar-17005996.htm

According to the seller, it has a 78 neck and a 74 and below body. The body is made of alder.

Here are the serial numbers provided by him:

Headstock: S868227
Neck plate: 0900#0292
Pickups: 82075

Based on this info, is it really worth the price?

Unfortunately if we can't see the ad we can't help you. The add hoster says we have to be in Malaysia to see the ad. Sorry. Maybe someone on this site can use those serials to give you a hand.

Why don't you post on Stratocaster Guitar, you'll have more answer ?

The neck is from a lefty guitar and look very worn. Pictures a too dark to tell and not enoug pictures. But from my opinion , in Canada, it is too expensive. At this price guitar should be original and in better shape.

You need to see the back of the neck , close-up of the frets , Picture inside the body ; to see if pickups and potentiometers are originals . Also date code on pot.

It is a lots money .
