Price watch (76)


Available at Swee Lee for $1,899. It's listed for more most probably due to its 'upgraded' pickups, which are a pair of Duncan's Black Winter. Folks, the 1221 is equipped with a pair of DiMarzios from the factory. Implying the Duncans as 'upgrades' is frankly, uncalled for.

Yes, the Japanese Squier Silver Series guitars are somewhat valued in the collector's turf. The reputation of these instruments are somewhat positive but there were lemons during the day & these might still be out there. The asking price as stated here is nearly $1K. There are other after-market Fenders out there which could pretty much out perform this Squier despite not being Japanese. If there is perhaps an ardent collector here interested in this instrument for what it is, the $960 deal might just happen. The domestic market here is not made up of serious collectors to begin with.

Those ads couldn’t beat the pedal ad i saw bro Sub. Dusty looking tc electronic mojo going for $150 (like new). The seller even dared to quote “cheapest” in the description. Amazing!

I sometimes wonder what these people are really up to. They are inviting disrepute to themselves... 🙄
