I think I heard that Bruce had his Strat assessed for insurance purposes, and that it was an astronomical sum - anybody know what it was?

I heard it was £250,000!

What would another Strat that was built at the same time in similar condition, purchased & belonging to someone who isn't famous be worth?

eBay USA has some answers.

Custom colour (though only a very unattractive black): $30,000 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-1958-Fender-Stratocaster-/261431477251?pt=Guitar&hash=item3cde87c403

It seems the history and previous owners add greatly to the value! if it hasnt any history its just another old guitar!

That's the reality, and the fact that 34346 can be heard on so many celebrated recordings over the years.
