RobG Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 They dropped to $1799 for a little while and then bumped back up to $1999 again......no idea why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were 1799 I would consider buying it, just because it looks so good in VS and I want a semi-hollow, but the 335 is too much for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azazello Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Hi. I'm new here. And I want my first post to be friendly and all, but I think some folks may puke when I say this: I got an Antique Red ES 339 tonight for $900 and a Gretsch Electromatic Pro Jet of dubious quality. Again, that's 900 cash and a $300 guitar. Original case, COA, case candy and all. The old fella said simply, "I'm a Fender guy." I expressed my regrets and told him there was still time. Is this not a top 10 bargain on this little honey? I'll arrange pics as soon as I can. Not as good a deal as the 1957 J-50 I got back in '86 for $165 in a pawn shop in Dallas. But still. OK, so this doesn't sound too much like bragging, lemme ask a question for the knowledgeable. I've got a nice chunk of fossilized walrus ivory that could be cut down to make a bridge to replace the standard plastic one. Can anyone tell me whether this is a dumb idea? And forgive me if my terminology is off, I mean the bridge "nut", maybe that's called the saddle. Either way, has anyone used ivory to replace that doohickey? Thanks, Azazello Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badbluesplayer Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I don't think $1,200. is way out of whack for a used 339. I saw one on Craigslist awhile ago for 1,100 or 1,200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andre S Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 You dint'...... Yes Murph, I did and I do. I have my Wine RED Studio, and possibly soon I will have a heritage cherry SG which is very close to RED. I was also thinking about a RED Casino, but all my guitars red? nuh uh. Too much red, I am already considering another alternative to having three RED guitars. I don't mind my one RED guitat though. Epi Lucille to replace casino, yes I know its not exactly the same. Gibby LP Traditional Pro or Plus to replace SG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Yep they seem to be back to $1,999 everywhere. I'm not a big fan of buying guitars without playing them first. When I went to GC to play one it was at $1,999. I loved it but they didn't budge on their price. I then called HOG in Rochester who told me that they only have a figured one; the regular 339's are only being sold through certain vendors. But I got a quote of $2,200 from HOG for it. I figured that an extra $200 for a beautiful top and back was well worth it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
