Apologies - another tiresome 'Wotsitworf?'

Looking at a USA precision active deluxe special with the double humbucker on the bridge, appears to be in mint condition (plastic film still on scratch plate). Made around 2006. Anyone hazard a guess at value? I'm not sure they still make these, the recent ones seem to be MIM with a single jazz type PU on the bridge.

I just sold a 2006 Ltd edition Fender Precision for £525, I'd say you shouldn't be paying over £600 and bear in mind that pickup configuaration won't be for everyone

I bought this guitar in mint condition about a year ago, for £600 and sold it 6 months later for about the same amount. Great guitar, if it wasn't for me having to cut my collection down I would have kept it.

Thanks for the replies. Looks like I may have paid slightly over the odds but I was prepared for that as it happens to be in a (rare-ish) colour that matches my USA jazz and I was after something to act as a 'partner'.

I don't think it's a problem though. I sold mine for a quick sale. I'm sure if you up the value to say £800 it could still sell. ultimately things are worth whatever we want to pay for them.

I checked the serial number, it's 2003 which in fact puts it to within a year of my jazz so I'm quite happy. I think £600 may be a slight undervaluation anyway as it was a little over twice this price when purchased new and is in pretty mint condition bar a few dirty marks that'll rub off. When I clean it up and get a strap on it I'll post a pic of the pair in the porn section. Popped a couple of new batteries in for a quick tune up and check the action - it's a beast!
