Oh man !
I really can't !
But I suppose an extra £50 is still a really good price if you want/need one. Not like some other places which are charging £999.
tbh - I wasn't even aware of these models before this thread.
Hopefully folk who wanted this type of guitar will be thrilled to buy at these prices especially if u have been looking for a while when they were a bag of sand.
Iv been texting all my guitar mates just in case they got the dosh handy which admittedly is not so easy these days but u never know.
Word in the last thread about this (I haven't corroborated it, just passing on the hearsay) was that Fender was operating a "Buy 6 get 6 free" policy with these models. No idea if it's true but the numbers sort of add up considering most are going at around 50% off. And considering how many places have this deal on at the same time, not to mention how rarely there are crazy deals like this on Fender stuff.
Perhaps that's why they weren't selling.

cracking buy, but for £1500 I'm not so sure? I bought one of the early 50's classics in the late nineties (which I sold a couple of years ago and still regret) and they feel very similar in quality and build.
That said, these guitars are presumably part of the American Vintage Series - the 'street' prices of which are very much higher than the American Standard Series. And Standards now top £1000....
So they do 'look' cheap.

That's why (together with the other Fender thread) I was intrigued by these. All sounds a bit ominous...
