BTW, It's a black Custom Tele with with black pickguard....

:D :D :D :D

The top end of the Squier range, the Master Series, lists for $600 to 665 - but commonly sells for $400 or so new. The Deluxe Strat lists for $415 and goes for around $250; the Standard Strat lists for around $330, but you can pick one up (new) for about $200.

An E-bay search for "Squier Strat" turns up 92 entries... the most expensive one that actually has bids is going for 260GBP (about $500) and there's a Japanese one for $150.... so "going for $500-550" is a real stretch

Various necks are available on both Fender and Squier models (and other Strat copies), so you can probably find one you like for less dough. As far as this guitar being worth $1000 in another 7-8 years, I highly doubt it - there aren't that many Squier collectors out there, and there are a lot of guitars on the market.

E-Bay is a pretty useful "BS meter" for figuring out the real range of used instrument prices. In the $400 range today you've got:

a Gibson Les Paul Special for $390 (no bids)
a PRS Santana SE for $400 (1 bid)
a Kramer Strat copy signed by Green Day for $403 (7 bids)
a '79 Martin EM-18 solid body for $364 (6 bids)

if you're thinking in 'investment terms' as the salesman is suggesting, guitars like these will get your money back, probably more. In general, a Squier won't.]]> Guitar Players Discussion NoteBoat https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/good-buy/#post-99577
