Mid-year delight @ Swee Lee

Swee Lee is having selected discounts for some items this mid-year. Some of my recommended picks:

Selected Aerodyne models are worth checking out. Remember, these are Japanese & they sport a curved top. Recommended for players who want something a little different with a firm recognition at the headstock.

The Limited Edition Player Series (Mex) are also worth considering since a good selection of them are under $1K (after discount). I feel the Mexican Fenders should be affordable at all times, not just during seasonal discounts. Then again we need to factor in shipping charges & inflation to understand why prices are as such.

Since these are now below the $500 mark, the Squier Classic Vibe Starcaster gets my vote for value-for-money. Especially with those wide-range humbuckers in there. 

I believe the Noventas will NOT be a hit even at these discounted listings. Why? P90s appeal to a niche segment of players & these people always look for Gibson / Epiphone instruments sporting P90s, not Fenders. Mexican Fenders with P90s going for more than $1K - a very difficult proposition. 

Ditto the Junior models listing for more than $1K. Who would be enticed to buy scaled down models of popular takes - kids / ladies? Even Fender promotes female guitar players playing standard sized guitars over at their official web space.
