Where are all the secondhand fenders?

Coda have had little or no us starts for ages. Nobody else either. So what's happening?

I'm selling a CS Strat

Elwood

Alnico

You're not having mine.

Or mine. Fenders are too nice to sell.....

Funny you should mention this - I recently tried an amp out in a shop which only sells secondhand guitars and the only Strat he has in stock was a Mexican one.

It’s only a tiny place (the wonderful Amp Guitars in Macclesfield - well worth a visit btw) but they typically would have had at least half a dozen in.

What is going on?

Yet I can’t give mine away at the moment!!!!

Probably can't go into HarrySeven's gaff without tripping over most of them...

Is it because the value of the am standard has plummeted due to the release of the pro?

A problem is that a lot of "Fender"s are rebadged Squiers or other brands; finding a genuine one can be a bit risky.

(I saw one yesterday which was described as "upgraded", by the addition of a waterslide decal!)

Go and see Graham at Guitar Classics Battersea London - he's got a good handful of them and at decent prices too.

Brexit?

I suppose it depends what price range you are looking at - and indeed from what era

I only have 1 used C/Shop today and very little below 1K - But I see plenty for sale on FB and at various guitar shows in some guise or another

So the real answer is they are all for sale on here then?
