How much is my Strat worth?

Good evening sir i just got an account on here and i have a quick question. I have a Fender Strat that belonged to Steve Miller of the Steve Miller Band that he purchased in the late 60's in NYC. How much do you think this guitar is worth?

Have you got documentation? What kind of shape is the guitar in? Is it in it's original condition or has it been modded?

Any of these could make a huge difference in the price. It is only worth what someone is willing to pay you for it.

Probably not too much since it is an old guitar! Those things don't usually sell for much especially if was used a lot by a professional musician. They tend to wear them out. It would be worth a lot more if it was new. if you have all the documentation I'll give you a few hundred because I'm generous!

Can you prove any of what you say...? Documentation, photographs of Steve Miller with that specific guitar (not just one that looks like it)... Show us what you have and we can help.

Could you give us a little less information? That's just too much to handle all at once.
