A friend’s son has a Korean made Strat, 1997, which are known as Pro Tone. It has gold hardware and a translucent Crimson finish and a pearl pickguard. I’ve looked these up and I gather it’s a solid ash body and we’re intended to be an up market model at the time.
He thinks he wants to sell it, which may not be his best decision, so anyone know if these are particularly sought after. A couple on sale on line are the models without the gold hardware, one asking £450 and the other, in the US on Reverb, wanting nearly £650! A couple of past sales have been in the £250 range.
I’m not asking for a valuation, but a view on quality and desirability.
