Aero Special... landed


Fender Japan's Aerodyne Special guitars & basses are now in stock at Swee Lee so it won't be subjected to the new GST rates next year. However, I find the prices disagreeable:
  • Strat: $1,849
  • HSS Strat: $18,99
  • Tele: $1,849
  • P-bass / J-bass: $1,949
Those figures are on the edges of the $2K bracket. Prices went crazy recently & things are not gonna get any better. When the initial Aerodyne models were available here, they were like $1.2K +/- ... those were the days. At the current listings, you are better off getting a used American Fender instead. The main draw of the Aerodyne Specials is that simple, no-frills look. It's downright attractive but I won't pay that much for one.
