Does anyone know if these come with a case? I don't see any mention of it on Fender's web site or on any of the retailer's sites.

Yes they come with period correct Case
The 58 P comes with Tweed
The 63 P I think comes in Cream
The 64 Jazz comes Cream
And the 74 Jazz is Black

Cream case? You mean brown cases like the old 62s AVRI? Like this one?

Does anyone have pictures of the new cases?

The old AVs came with light brown tweed, but not laquered like the originals.

There were cream colored tolex cases for a few years in the early 60s between the tweed and black cases.

I wonder if that's a price change from Fender.

No. I bought it from MF this weekend and was able to take advantage of the "Customer Appreciation" 15% discount.

I guess Fender is usually exempt from MF's discounts. I remembered that TB has a "friend" at MF that can sometimes get better pricing.

His name is Luke. Great guy!

They always say that and the discounts don't work online...but if you call during a sale they will almost always apply it to Fender. You have to call.

It appears that the best way to grab one of these at a very respectable price is to watch for a 15% discount deal from one of the venders, then POLITELY shop around to other venders, asking for their very best price match deal. They will verify the discount prior to tendering you an offer or telling you to go fish.

In my case, it netted me the '63 P in Sonic Blue for 1648.99 shipped.

Say it with me.........
