Members jr_vw2 Posted March 12, 2010 Members Share Posted March 12, 2010 What's it worth. I'm not sure of the year but it's in great condition. Dude wants $1000 for it which seems kind of high to me. I can try to get more info if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mazi Bee Posted March 12, 2010 Members Share Posted March 12, 2010 If it's a USA Big Apple strat from the mid 90s to 2001, then it's worth about $650-$800 depending on what condition it's in. $1000 is overpriced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jr_vw2 Posted March 12, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 12, 2010 Im going to go back and look at it again tomorrow. I didnt look at it too hard the first time. But I find myself day dreaming about it now. Maybe I will snap a pic and put it up here. It is a really cool transparent red color that i have not seen on a strat before. kind like this one http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v715/ckbcustomshop/orangestrat.jpg but with dual HB and a white PG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members doppelbanger Posted March 12, 2010 Members Share Posted March 12, 2010 I bought this bad boy used at Guitar Center about 5 years for $579 with OHSC. It is my favorite guitar that I own both because of it's versatility plus it's thin neck. Coil splits ftmfw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jr_vw2 Posted March 12, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 12, 2010 does it have the pearly gates and the 59 in it still? how do you like them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members magentaplacenta Posted March 12, 2010 Members Share Posted March 12, 2010 I wouldn't pay more than $600. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jr_vw2 Posted March 12, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 12, 2010 its kinda funny because I have never really been a "strat man" they just never felt right to me. But this one has bit me....but it looks like dude wants WAY to much for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JMann Posted March 12, 2010 Members Share Posted March 12, 2010 Go to page 2 of this wtb ad at the Hamer forum. He's asking for I do believe $650 shipped. Same color as the one you posted. http://www.hamerfanclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=41027 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members doppelbanger Posted March 12, 2010 Members Share Posted March 12, 2010 Mine has the pearly gates and the 59. Actually they come with a pearly gates + which I guess is different from the pearly gates. I love the bridge pickup and prefer it to the burstbuster bridge pickup in my les paul. The 59 sounds pretty good too but I prefer the les paul neck over the 59. If you are looking for traditional strat sc tones then I would look at a different tones. However, if you want something closer to an sg or les paul but with a bit of strat characteristic then this may be the guitar for you. I probably wouldn't pay more than $700 for one though just because you could get one on ebay for that much. But i do think that they are somewhat rare so could be more sought after at some point in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members doppelbanger Posted March 12, 2010 Members Share Posted March 12, 2010 just checked ebay completed listings...looks like several have sold under $700 but some of the sellers seem to think $1000 buy it nows are legit; steer clear of those.

Members vintage clubber Posted March 12, 2010 Members Share Posted March 12, 2010 "Creamsicle" was a 1997 Big Apple Strat in it's original form when I bought it used at a local retailer for $600 case included. I never cared for the HH set up on this, so I re-did it with standard SSS set up. It also had Gary Hoey's autograph on the back of the headstock from a guitar clinic he had done a few years prior.

Members linusâ„¢ Posted March 12, 2010 Members Share Posted March 12, 2010 i wanted one of those with a ferocity when they were being produced. $1k is way too high though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazon can hook you up - sometimes music stores will sell you their old ones- they are a bit spendy- nice to have though if you buy and sell a lot.

Members bsman Posted March 12, 2010 Members Share Posted March 12, 2010 I find the big apple setup (five way switch gives you Neck HB - Neck single - Both HB - Bridge Single - Bridge HB) to be extremely versatile, and the SDs on that model are great. I think it's about as close as you can come to LP tones on a strat. I've not owned one, but I keep looking on the local CL, and one will find its way to me eventually....
