I own a sage green Fender Stratocaster guitar (Fender stopped making this color in 2006). It is about 5 years old I believe, and in great condition, although it has a small crack in the finish near the neck.It is made in Mexico, although it plays great, and has a tremolo bar. I am just curious about how much it would be worth if I wanted to sell it?

Hello there,
In general, you can expect to get roughly 1/2 the new price for a guitar. Fender Standard Stratocasters MIM sell for $500 new. That would mean about $250. Of course the condition of the guitar is a big factor. Some colors are more sought after than others. Maple necks also seem to bring a little extra. Even though a color is discontinued does not mean it will bring a premium. There is a high demand for colors such as sonic blue, surf green and shell pink. Even though those colors are still available, a used Strat in one of those colors will bring a little extra.
On the recent sales at eBay, the range is from $185 up. Many sales coming in around $200 and after $250 you start to see Strats that did not sell. Buy $300 you see a lot that did not sell. By $350 you see some American Strats being sold.
2001 MIM Strat $185.50 This one was about the lowest of the stock Strats.

60th Anniversary Strat (I believe that would be a 2005) $199.

2003 Ice Blue Strat $265.

After this you begin to see ones that did not sell.
