Fender Ritchie Blackmore Stratocaster
Aftermarket Price History
Used-market sales only. Brand New listings excluded.
The Ritchie Blackmore Stratocaster is one of Fender's most specialized classic-rock signatures, built around Blackmore's distinctive high-speed, scallop-friendly playing preferences. The scalloped fingerboard and unusual pickup and control choices are the real story here, because they make the guitar feel fundamentally different from a normal Strat even before amplification enters the picture. On the used market, originality counts sharply, especially around the neck and electronics, since the whole value is tied to the signature functionality. It is a very specific tool, and that specificity keeps the buyer pool smaller but more committed.
Individual Listings (Used Market)

Market Report
Used examples typically trade between $1,025 and $1,325; anything under $1,025 is worth a close look. Some price variation month to month, but within a normal range.
This model rarely comes to market at ~3/month. When one does appear, expect less room to negotiate on price.
Condition has a moderate effect on price (~13% spread from clean to worn). Player-grade examples represent reasonable value.
Related models
The closest sibling: same scalloped-vintage brief, useful price and spec comparison between the two.
Vintage-spec Strat without the scalloped board: period-correct construction for players who don't require the modification.
Master-built step up: the natural destination for buyers who have outgrown production-line scalloped builds.
