How much is this guitar worth?

Red 1988 or '89 U.S. Fender Strat with a Kahler Spyder bridge all original....very-good to excellent condition.

thanks in advance

If I we're putting this guitar on e-bay I would put a starting bid of $350 US dollars.

I would say it was worth $450.00 US IMO.  And thats pushing it.

You can get U.S. strats all day long on e-bay and that Kahler bridge will actually bring the value down.  Hence the $450.00  The reason Kahlers aren't popular today is because it zaps alot of sustain out of the guitar.

Hope this helps.

yes totally

it also seems that it is hard to repair the Kahlers too...I assume it's hard to find parts if something happens?

Back in the 80s Kahler was in competition with Floyd Rose for locking tremelos.  Most people picked Floyd Rose obviously due to the sustain issue and overall ease of use. 

I don't think Kahler even makes that brand of tremelos anymore.

no they don't...my buddy wants to get rid of it and we couldn't find a price for it after looking around but we did find that Kahler doesn't make the bridges anymore.

I was playing it last night...it's a decent guitar..apparently the colour is discontinued of the guitar is discontinued too so we weren't sure about that affecting the price...I do know that red isn't a very popular colour though for guitars...
