Regular price is £750 new, dv247 were blowing them out for 599 at one point and I've just been told keep an eye on Black Friday for some great prices

Great guitar. If it's a midtown custom you're after you'll be a bit shy at £500. They've been between £750 and £800 on the bay. I got one on a private sale last week for £700 and it's brilliant. At £700 there were folk queuing up for it and I was the lucky first buyer

I've just bought a sunburst standard for £700, that seemed the going rate 2nd hand. However, I'd wait for black Friday and see if there are any deals on remaining stock (which seems to be just black and blue). Still if there are no deals they are still great value guitars at £799 or looking at ebay the odd one has gone for around £600

http://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/85097/ this sold for £475 so pretty sure £500 is ball park figure for a secondhand one...looks like they are going to be blown out on Friday by a couple of places after I've put a few calls in..

Well good luck then, probably no better time to buy one.  I would have waited but I wanted Sunburst, as I say, still a great guitar for £700 so I'm very happy.  If there's any P90 ones going for £500 I'd almost be tempted to get mine a twin.

Andertons have a b-stock Pelham blue one with humbuckers for £599 at the mo.

Looks like a standard may be doable then...unlikely a custom would come up

There's a B stock one here for £611.  Not quite on budget could be worth a call and a cheeky offer if you are not sorted already.
