Whats it worth? Fender context

[Jared92]

I have a black MIM Fender Jazz V. It has american pots, a aged pickguard (by our own ibanezcollector), and a control plate from 1962 jazz. Im not looking to sell right now. But can anyone estimatewhat it would be worth? I have put $100+ into it. Thanks for the help!

Less than a new one.

lol and +1

For a MIM, cut the value by 40% and there you have it. With the upgrades, you probablty won't take as big a hit and if you sell it on ebay, you might break even/make a profit.

I'd check craigslist, TB classified, and Ebay for similar MIM Jazz 5ers. BTW, I think the old control plate and aged pickguard are nice. However, you might just keep those parts and sell it with stock parts. You can then reuse them on another Jazz.

Since it is closer to an entry level instrument, prospective buyers are often seeking something as close to brand new as possible. All IMHO.
