The prices totally fox me though, when I first looked at them they were £349 brand new, now you can't get them used for that. The few I've played were cool but are they really worth nearly double now (new) in 5 years?

 

I've noticed that with the Classic 70s Strat, they were around £379 earlier on in the year, they are now £549. Ironically, the MIJ 70s strat can be had for £580 new.

Funnily enough I was playing @ESBlonde Lite Ash yesterday. Twas very nice. 

I haven't advertised it, but it could be for sale. I think I need a 52 Reissue with the 7.5" fingerboard!

Was at Gearfest East yesterday. 

I'm kicking myself for not taking the opportunity to pick that up for a twiddle - think I was just paralyzed by choice. Oh well, next time...

Ever since I sold my '52 Reissue I've hankered after one of these as a cheaper alternative and never got round to it.

Maybe I'm a scrooge.

I remember seeing them for around that price and almost getting one, but not quite being able to justify buying another guitar to myself never did.  Started really, really wanting one a couple years ago and was quite shocked at the price increase and now regret not just going for it at the time.  Especially since then I've gotten married, bought a house etc.. but that's a different story!

Yeah it was pretty horrific. Oil and wax finished now (and not entirely standard):
