What's Hot
Dipping my toe in the water here as I'm considering selling my Strat but not sure how to sell it.
It's a parts guitar but it is a Fender. USA neck with a Highway One body, fender bridge, tuners etc..
Tonerider pickups and a nice hand wired custom harness (can't remember who I used but probably James' Home of Tone.)
So what's it worth? If it was a USA nitro Strat I'd be laughing, and even Highway ones fetch silly money these days!
After having a set up and new nut fitted it probably owes me £750, is that unrealistic?
Only pics I have at the moment.

Is the body refinished? Red H1 bodies had a semi-transparent finish that showed the grain. Opaque metallic red is suggestive of the American Special.
This is no bad thing. The two ranges were of almost identical specification bar the thin nitro finish of the H1. (I cannot remember when the Greasebucket tone control feature first appeared.)
It is possible that what you have is actually a Fender Am Spl Stratocaster but with a modified pickguard and electronics assembly.
