Hi all,

My dad asked me to sell his Fender Stratocaster from the seventies (see id on the backplate, it's 519714). Having no clue on what could be the reference price guide, I wanted to get your advice on this. As far as I know, the guitar had no modifications and is all genuine, and overall in very good condition as you can see in the pics (given its age).

I live in europe and contacted a pro dealer here who seemed to be specialized in vintage guitars, but I'd like to have multiple references to better grasp the value of this guitar. Would you have any suggestion or references on this ? Thanks in advance.

Here are some other pics :

done, thank you, well at least I know it's not worth 30,000 bucks now :p. I have a much better idea now and whenever I meet w/ the pro who's willing to see/buy it I'll know if I'm getting robbed ^^', so thanks all for the useful comments, much appreciated.

Happy to help. I have a humble vintage guitar shop. Nothing big, but I've been doing this a long time. Good luck!

If you're a player yourself, and it belonged to your dad, maybe just hold onto it. They're only going up on value and get rarer by the day.
