Can anyone tell me the value of a 40th Anniversary Strat or any other places I might find a buyer? It has only been out of the case 4 or 5 times in the past 6 or 7 years MINT.

Check these guys: http://12fret.com/used/index.html#

Here's their description:
Serial Number:... number 0780 of 1954; circa 1994
Description:... These Limited Edition 40th Anniversary '54 reissue strats are not only great collector/investment pieces but more importantly they are consistently great feeling and sounding. This one has an especially nice grain to the light & resonant ash body. Forget an amp because this thing rings loud acoustically!
Neck:... 1 21/32" wide at the nut; one piece maple neck; 'spaghetti' logo;
Frets:... in very good shape; very very little signs of playing
Body:... 7.25 pounds overall guitar weight! very nice legit looking contours on a light swamp ash body; in excellent condition
Finish:... original 2 colour burst lacquer finish is in near showroom condition
Hardware/electronics;... original
Playability/Action:... excellent
Case:... comes with both a lacquered Fender tweed case and a brown Fender "poodle" case
Pricing: $2799.00 Canadian dollars ($2029. US$)



Yikes!

I bought a new one when they came out but have to say they are overpriced and overhyped. It was a good guitar but no better say than a 57RI. Just my 002.
