Exactly the same price I paid for my brand new NOS finish custom shop 64 jazz in September last year!

I was just looking at CS stuff. Some of it is up to 7800.00 bucks..... Masterbuilt of course, with pick ups wound by Abby, the goddess of tone herself.

I bleed Fender but jeez. This is getting to be a very expensive relationship. At these prices , I could afford to go out and have an affair, bass or otherwise ! Heck, I am not beyond having Lakland build me something sweet.

Anyone have any good ideas on where I should be looking for fire sales on CS NOS ?

You can find them in the 2000.00-2500.00 range on craigslist all the time, that's where I would start.

Small town here. Unfortunately won't work, unless I want to buy an Affinity. No larger towns close which means that fuel would offset the deal, unless I find the right deal.

There are two 64 jazz' CS NOS on Flea Bay at 2600.00. Close enough in price that I'll just have to turn over some rocks and then make a decision.

Many thanks !

Guess I'm stuck being your "standard" Fender customer unless I either get a nice tax return or Fender lowers these a bit. Would be crazy to think that speculation here may have pushed them past the $1600 mark, wouldn't it?

[Zoomie]

It's possible. Still the increase is identical to the increase on the NAV guitar line. I suspect that pricing was set long before we started speculating.

Here's the '74 in sunburst:

Lovin the 64, but this is nothing really "new" i.e. '70s classic jb for a fraction of the price....

[petrus61]

Btw, there was nary a mention of these on both the FDP and Fender forums as of yet.

[MellyMel]

Yeah, the british site above has the delivery date as may 2013...

[petrus61]

Yep, $1999.00 with a $2199 list is what I'm seeing on the '63.

As mentioned, Musicians Friend has them posted for Jan 25 ship date.
I have to admit that I am pretty disappointed in the pricing. I could possibly understand $1600 for the P and $1700 for the J. MF has the J at $2399.

I am now waiting for the Stratosphere pricing.. Sonic P body.. Prob like $799

i even like the poly finish better with that look.
the jazzes are cool especially the matching headstock one. but as soon as i can afford it im after the classic 63 3ts precision look. it is a shame there is no 62 MIM precision in sunburst.
where im located there is almost no used market and we pay a whole lot more. id be super glad if i could get it for 2000$!

I suspect that the used market in your region is a little thin. Not to mention, that shipping charges to Saturn are steep !

The problem I have with the cost is that may force me to want to give up the AVRI 62 P. The 62 is just way too sweet to take a chance on giving it up. Got my anno guard on it and Gotoh GB640 resolites. Monster tone, not to mention that it balances so well that it feels like it's a part of me. If I had to sell everything I own, I would be pushing a shopping cart with the AVRI in the basket.

Heck, even if I were to grab the 63 for a test drive, I would have to sit on the AVRI.

I am going to have to agree with others that this will surely force used prices on AVRI's to creep up.

Ay yi yi! Me duele el codo!! [Spanish for "My elbow hurts!"...as in, it hurts when I reach for my wallet.]

Not gonna do it, wouldn't be prudent.

Beautiful basses. I love the Lake Placid Blue 64 jazz.

Nice to see that they can make a video for each guitar, but not one for any of the basses. Come on Fender, show us some love too!

[David281189]

really beautiful, all of them

Not likely. I was told March. The guitars released at these price points last year have been getting rave reviews. If it's not your thing snag up one of the outgoing models.

Bizarre guitar Reno usually have good prices and a good selection, they are on eBay (legit store, but their eBay listings are their most up to date)
