I paid $500 for a Strat in 1989 it was alot of money back then so I know how you felt about $400 in 1990. I still have the guitar a Fender Japan Contemporary Standard Stratocaster in black. Amazingly enough its still worth $500 all day in todays money but I'd guess the buying power of $500 in 1989 is about $1500 now so...
