Sorry, Earl, but you can't have it both ways. 
My apologies to you if I seem to be a wisea**; it's just that in the last 4 years, the prices on Fender Deluxe guitars have escalated more than the Stringmasters.[This message was edited by Herb Steiner on 26 January 2005 at 01:05 AM.] |

Just for instance, what does a good condition Fender Deluxe 8 sell for these days? I mean a really nice one in the original case everything working fine, excellent original blond finish. Please give me a ballpark figure.

Basil,
That is a VERY fine example; thank you for passing on that info. Looks like you found yourself a really nice guitar. How much did it cost to ship to the UK? Bill

Basil,
That tax is pretty steep. Especially when they include the shipping in the calculation. Thank you for the info. Bill
