朋友想買Fender,看能不能讓他知道。
台灣應該不太會反應吧,畢竟這種少量的降價!
我在美國吉他論壇上看到的。在此地的 Craigslist 兩次看到不同把還有掛牌, 都是乳白色的 Eric Johnson Strat 在賣 $1000﹐和 $1150, 有點好奇怎麼價格如此低﹐上網去搜尋﹐馬上找到答案﹐一個在吉他論壇上的人很得意的說我買了把只要$650 加稅 $700 出頭﹐不久前 Fender 把 RJ 的 Strat 以$750 低價清倉大拍賣﹐我恍然大悟, 相信已經賣光了。
$1000 那把幾天就賣掉了!
看這裡﹔
http://www.strat-talk.com/forum/stratoc ... strat.htmljust bought a like-new EJ Strat for $650.
Seriously.
I'm giddy beyond belief.
The story goes like this: A good friend of mine spends a lot of his free
time at the local Guitar Center, and he'll pick up used stuff or their specials,
etc. A month or so ago he was in his spot (about an hour after I had been
in to get a couple of straps) and somebody brought in a lightly used Eric
Johnson Strat, in red, for trade. He snapped it up.
Seems that a while back, Guitar Center blew out new EJs for $750 when they
decided not to stock them anymore. And for some reason, over the last few
weeks, several folks have decided they didn't want their EJ's anymore and
have brought them back into the store. I'm not sure what these guys were
given by GC, but this GC in particular decided to sell them for $650.
My buddy was there when the first one came in; the next day a burst one
came in, same deal. I told him that if he saw another one to call me. I
didn't figure anything would come of it.
So tonight, I got a call from my friend - "I'm at GC. Guess what I have
in my hands?" Hmm, that's a trick question. Could be anything. "What does
Pat want?" So I answered, truthfully, "A GE Smith Tele? Or an EJ Strat?"
They'd taken in a white blonde one, great condition, still has pickguard
plastic on it. I had him keep playing it and I scrambled for some money
and then went to the store.
It needs a bit of a setup, but it's sweet. Love the neck profile. The pickups
are mouthwatering. I love the thin nitro, though truthfully I'd prefer a
red one to the white blonde, but it's my 2nd favorite color.
This one didn't come with a case (neither did my buddy's, but the burst
one in between them did). But for the price..
I paid $708, with tax, for an as-new EJ Strat.
I'll have to sell send back the CV 50s Strat I just got, and the Squier
51, and perhaps another one. But that seems entirely fine to me.

Amp 也是論壇朋友說的﹐我馬上去 Musician's Friends 和 SweetWater 查﹐果然全部回到年初價格。
Fender 早知如此﹐何必當初?
還好我把 Fender Princeton Reverb 65 RI 退回吉他店了。
