In the UK about ￡250 - ￡300. In the US I imagine about $380 - $450.
Considering it been around in the same form since 1954, it was quite a good idea lol
Patents were applied for all these new designs, and production line Stratocasters reached the market in early 1954 for US$249.50 (approximately US$1,850 in 2007 currency[2]). The basic production model had a two-tone nitrocellulose 'sunburst' finish, one-piece maple neck, ash body, chrome hardware, and Bakelite-like thermoplastic parts. Other manufacturers began imitating these innovations immediately. An early-model Stratocaster was a key component of Buddy Holly's signature look, along with his black-rimmed glasses, and he was among the first players to popularize the Stratocaster in rock music.[3] Both his gravestone and his walk-of-fame statue in Lubbock, Texas feature a Stratocaster.
