I want to pass along a really great deal, at least in my experience. I just bought a new Fender Standard Telecaster for $425, with free shipping. Cannot beat that price.
I got it on Reverb. Search for Fender Telecaster, and look for B-stock, set the max price at $500, and also add accepts offers. Music 123 has them for $479. I offered $425 and it was accepted.
Here's the thing. This guitar was in perfect shape. Brand new, sealed in the box, with the metal clips on the box still intact. Not a mark on it, absolutely nothing wrong. It's brand new. It's a steal at that price.
