prowla Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 I think the seller is a bit optimistic in their pricing... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224845497917 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 This one illustrates why you have top be careful when putting together a bitzer to ensure it doesn't end up looking like it has been designed by committee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Normal Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 I tend to price these types of things by their major components, and then halve it for used value: Warmoth neck (assuming it's basic stock and not a custom build, £413.00 upwards). Fender mex body: £200.00 Pickups: £110.00 Locking tuners: £78.00 = £800.00 /2 = about 400 quid theoretical resale value for this strat if anyone actually wants to buy it I reckon, but it's not a pretty one. Just throw this in there to stir the pot though (because (a) I love Warmoth licenced necks and (b) I have a hangover), if you bolt a licenced Status neck onto a Stingray, as many do, is it a bitzer? 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binky_bass Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 6.3kg can't be right... my old Overwater 7 string weighed less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't realised Planet Waves parts were worth that much, but on the flipside it has a builtin tuner (but on the flipside of that it has a battery compartment cut into the body too).
