Hi linutisp.

I'm not positive what you have here but it looks similar to a "HRR" series (Hot-Rodded-Reissue) except I don't see a coil split switch. The HRR series was built in Japan from 1990-95 had a Floyd Rose with an HSS pickup configuration. According to the Blue Book, it lies at the low end of strat values ($425 in Excellent Plus).

Your guitar also has similarities to the H.M. series, some of which were built in Japan with the later years built in the US. They had Kahler trems and came is all sorts of pickup configurations including DiMarzio's and lace sensors. Values on these is about the same as values on the HRR guitars. The American built models are valued around $475 with the Japanese models around $300 (EXC+)

So, while no knowing exactly what your guitar is, it is clear that similar instruments from the early 90's with fancy whammies lie at the low end of the strat value spectrum. If you can pin down the exact model, I might be able to provide you with a more precise value.

It's american with original floyd rose and dimarzio humbucker.

Exactly, hence the rub. I have no specifications that match your particular instrument. That's why a specific model ID would be very useful for establishing value.

There was a specific American made Stratocaster model that Fender designated as the Floyd Rose Classic Strat. That is the exact model name.

"The Floyd Rose Classic Stratocasters (made from 1992 to 2003) featured an original Floyd Rose locking tremolo bridge. They came in HSS (Fender DH-1 humbucker and 2 DeltaTone single-coils) and HH (dual Fender DH-1 humbuckers) configurations. Models manufactured before 1998 had DiMarzio PAF Pro humbucking pickups."

I have a 2003 Musician's Friend catalog right in front of me. The description lists it as having a Fender DH-1 humbucker and 2 Fender American Standard pickups. Their price on it at was $1049.99.

Here's the only one I can find with an asking price attached to it, although I have no idea about how realistic it is. As far as a selling point, Strats with Floyd Rose's are far less popular then those with the vintage or contemporary two point style trems. In the end,it's worth how much you're willing to pay for it depending on how badly you want it.

Ok,thanks.

Good work Spud. With the model name in hand I finally found it in the Blue Book. Looks like the price on the example you found is reasonable according to BB values. Zach suggests $900 EXEC+ and $750 EXEC.
