PSA - Classic 60s Lacquer Strats dropping in price

thermionicthermionic Frets: 9658
These have been at about £920 for some time, but I've noticed Richtone's ebay store has been dropping the price considerably recently. Now down to £779 with free delivery: ebay listing

As always on ebay, people are trying to sell used ones for £100 less than the new price (such as this one for £829 - although it does have upgraded pickups). I was lucky to get a used one for under £600 but they don't often come up at that low a price. A brand new one for under £800 seems a bit of a bargain. The one I have is light and resonant, although the neck is a little slimmer than the old Classic 60s Strat I had. They come with a nice tweed case as well.

    Noticed the 50s Classic Laquer also looks cheaper (£857 at GAK) weren't these £900+? Have been feeling the GAS for a Candy Apple Red Strat for some time....

    The Tele Baja I just bought was £699. These were £795 a few weeks ago. I guess prices across the whole range is being reduced as GBP has strengthened.
