But in the end 'the market decides' on the price of anything - no matter what the seller, or any of us thinks its 'value' is. Edited January 11, 2009 by 99ster

Dare I suggest a bit of a reality check for the seller?
mistahbenn Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 £4500 would get you at least a pre CBS Fender.
thebeat Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 Is it just me or does it look like it's been [i][b]played sitting down[/b][/i] non stop for the last 30 years by someone wearing sandpaper trousers? Was the finish on 70's Fenders really that crap?
