Those bronco basses have been that low before, but $759 for a Jag-stang is mental.

I'm really tempted by the Squier XII's for $350.

I'd buy this one for $329. It's basically a Les Paul Special, only better because it'll never lose its headstock if someone sneezes at it or looks wrong. And it costs 5 times less. And Squier will definitely disconitue it at some point.

In 1994 I bought a ‘66 Jaguar and a ‘65 Musicmaster for $600.





$600 for both

That Squier LP Special also caught my eye. As does the Rascal Bass in Sherwood green....

If I wasn't in the middle of a massive gear purge rn...

The trade off is that I’m quite old now, if that makes you feel better.

Was it the part of the deal that you would get old and when the money and the guitars exchanged hands the guy exclaimed dramatically "And from now on you will age till you're very old and then you'll die!"? And he then laughed maliciously. Till it became quite again and you two were just looking each other in the eye for one whole minute.

I don't see USA Stratocaster prices back to even 2008 prices. Mine was £850.

Can't believe I've had over a month to think about these at this price.

Fender is doing 10% off through GC and Sweetwater etc. And Sweetwater is doing 24 month 0% financing. So $315+ tax ($340/ $14 a month out the door in NY)

It's 1:20am EST, I made the mistake of being awake and online at this hour and just ordered one in oly white.

Nice! I'd love a 12 string too, it's probably the best guitar out of them all
