I wanna know how much are these worth:

New American Deluxe Stratocaster in Black.
by Fender California.
must be a 2000 version with the noiseless pick ups.
dark fretboard, abalon inlays and schaller locking mechanics.
still in its original condition, all papers are there and the guitar case too.
condition is (except a few hair scratches) mint.
ah and it is a lefty.
thank you

if you were selling it privately the UK, a standard (non-left) one would probably fetch about £800. I imagine a lefty might up that to about £900-1000.

oh crap. first of all thanks. thats more then I expected!
do you think it would be better to sell or to wait?
will the prices more likely de/increase?

[demonrail666]

I just looked again and was maybe a bit optimistic, although for a lefty you should still be looking at around £800-900. New ones are around £1000-£1100. I don't think prices are likely to deviate too much from that over time, so it's more about when you want to sell it, and how. Are there any significant difference between the Deluxe you're selling and the current one Fender are making?

i would imagine that it will be somewhere in the region of $1400 but it really depends where from as some stores charge way over the top.

I dont know really.
the only thing I know is that when I bought it back in the days everybody was rushing like "fender is back...best fender since ages...blabla". and yes its the best sounding guitar Ive ever played.
I think the new noiseless PUs are the major difference. but correct me if I am wrong.
if I recall it the right way I bought it for 2600 DM which is roughly around 1300 Euros, that would mean almost no loss in value

the reason why I think of selling is my japanese mustang. I just play it waaaay more often. and why should I sit on the american money bitch, hrhrhr.
