Hey,

I was browsing fender site to look for some Fender Amp for gig and this did appear :

Day 1 Deal | Fender

Fender literally wrote the book on electric basses, laying the foundation for musical innovation and evolution. Learn more about Fender electric basses.

A 40% Discount? Wow, slighlty cheaper than CV guitars now. Thats bold move i believe. However, i did notice that almost none of those 40th Anniversary guitars and basses were sold here in Poland. We're not having 40% discount here, just 10% at the moment. Any of You got 40th Squiers? Do Your stores sell them, any idea?

Do Your stores sell them, any idea?

around € 350 for most of the 40th anniv models
(they were ~ € 500.- in the past)

$599 for Squier is a bit of a stretch for a guitar that is really just a fancy CV, with no pickup or other upgrades other than cosmetics.

That‘s nothing, $830 + tax up here.

I just checked the current exchange rate between the US and Canadian dollars, and $599 US comes to $804 Canadian, so there you go, after the adjustment for the currency difference it's basically the same price.

$620 USD

$620 USD

Thats almost player series price

No, the Player series WERE $649 when they first replaced the Standard series, which were $599 at that point. But now, the least expensive Player series guitars are $849 in the US.

Agreed, I love Squiers, but there's a ceiling I'll pay for a non-MIJ Squier guitar.

Depreciation is really bad for Squiers because of the "beginner" guitar frame of mind. No way I'm paying that price for a modern Squier.

Wow why 849, its 749 USD here in EU

Then we are taxed on the sale.

WOW, 322 euros on Thomann (translating to 338 USD according to the Google conversion)! There's even a 299 B-stock offer available, sadly they don't let you check real pics of the damage or blemishes.

Were I on the lookout for a new guitar, this one would be on its way home: https://www.thomann.de/pt/fender_squier_40th_anniv._strat_ssb.htm

Thing is, I'm not looking for a new guitar... I do have a Cort in that same finish, though, and without the gold plating that, due to my acidic sweat, would look decent for about a month. The bound neck with block inlays is sweet, though...

 

[Dinomikesr]

Sweetwater has them for $359.

What are the pickups in the 40th Anniversary Squier JM? Fender just says they are Fender-designed single coils and doesn't call them Jazzmaster pickups. Are they standard P-90s .. or JMs ... or a hybrid design? I'm just curious why Fender doesn't call them Jazzmaster pickups in a Jazzmaster model.

You should have looked during the Black Friday sale, they had them even cheaper at £288 (currently £309).

That actually translates to only 3 more euros than its current price
