I have a 77 Fender Strat in player condition. The fret has a very slight scallop. It was routed for a floyd or something at one point. It is also heavy. It is all back to looking stock. Sunburst and maple. Black pickguard. I need to check pickups. They may be original. Any idea of its value? no case. I can try to post pics later.

You have described a lot of things that could greatly devalue the guitar. Post pics!

Okay I will get pics. I know the value is not great.

You never know. Take pics of the tuners, bridge, pull the pickguard and take pics of the pickups. Pull the neck, take pics of the neck and stamp. Pics of the neck, anything that looks dodgy...and the body with the area where the route was.

I will take it apart this weekend and post more pics. Here is a start. Good strat to make a Joe Holmes copy.

Worth about1000- 1200 because of the mods. Normally maybe 1600 plus depending on condition.

Yep, I've seen a few on Clist for 2K or so but they are totally stock and they still sit for a while...
