Yo Kenny, yeah, insurance can be a tricky one. It seems to be different for everyone, even with the same insurer! So your best bet is to ring around and get a few quotes ("we will fight them on the beaches", "I have in my hand a piece of paper that guarantees peace in our time" and, that perennial fave, "what could possibly go wrong?"). I've just re-insured mine through MSM, so give them a call and mention me and the SEC and they'll probably turn you down flat. The guy there is Dave Spragg who's well up on Strat reps so at least he'll know what you're talking about! 01279 870535, to save you looking it up.
Some will require a Cat 1 alarm, some a tracker (I've got one from Autotrac, which costs a fiver a month), and if they want a valuation, giz a shout and I'm sure we can sort something that values your shiny new Strat at ?35K.
By the way, you may find your valuation is somewhat higher than you expect - I think Leigh's is far too low - and your premium will reflect that figure....
