Fender Robert Cray Stratocaster
Aftermarket Price History
Used-market sales only. Brand New listings excluded.
The Robert Cray Stratocaster is a long-running hardtail signature built close to the artist's actual working preferences rather than generic blues-hero expectations. A non-trem bridge, straightforward vintage-style pickups and a direct, no-nonsense layout give it a feel that is noticeably different from most production Strats. On the used market, originality and clean condition do most of the work, because buyers usually want the exact Cray package and not a modded hardtail substitute. It is a player's signature first, and its understated spec is exactly why many buyers like it.

Market Report
Used examples typically trade between $900 and $1,075; anything under $875 is worth a close look. Price variance is high — individual sales can move the market, so check recent comps before committing.
This model rarely comes to market at ~3/month. When one does appear, expect less room to negotiate on price.
The market isn't particularly condition-sensitive (~6% spread). A player-grade example trades close to a clean one.
Related models
Vintage-spec U.S. Strat with a conventional tremolo: similar tonal brief, different hardware configuration.
Other blues-legend signature at a similar price: different spec (mid boost, trem) but the same vintage-voiced blues category.
Non-signature U.S. Strat at a lower price: a useful working-player reference before committing to the signature.
