Ola peeps. I normally skulk around on the Basschat site, so new to this bit. I was given a Perspex bodied strat in the mid 90’s. It was in a sorry state, and my teenage repair skills certainly didn’t help much (scratch plate fitting evidenced below). I have been thinking about swapping the body for a standard wood one, but maybe I should just sell this one and buy another more suitable guitar. Trouble is, I have no idea how much it’s worth. I’ve got as far as It’s Japanese, and weighs quite a lot (4.5kgs) Any value ideas, anyone? @Bassassin ? I have a sales subscription, so it’ll end up on here no doubt.

There's been a bit of a lull while resin sets and things arrive in the post. I couldn't resist another sneaky peek at it now all of the bits are here. For those of you that care about that sort of thing ...Seymour Duncan Distortion bridge pickup , Warman P90 in the neck position.

Your post made me think of one guitar brand straight away - Blueridge, not as well known as some but having played one i can heartily recommend them, the only dealers i know of are Hobgoblin (although my friend bought his from hound dog music in Whitley Bay about 10 years ago) they only have one in stock but it's a dreadnaught. and a decent price as well i'd say (although it is laminate back and sides) Blueridge BR-40-LH Dreadnought Guitar, Left Handed | Hobgoblin Music my friend has the Br-143 (OM size) and I will confidently put it up against Martins at about 2k, it's a stunning instrument and is just getting better with age. If you could run to the BR-140 then i'd expect that to be pretty much exactly what you are looking for. Matt
