I just purchased a brand new Fender Cyclone HS in Orange for $625. It still has the plastic film covering the pickguard, paperwork and gig bag, and the guitar is generally prestine. The clerk said it had been bouncing around in the back and they hadn't pulled it out until recently.
I am trying to justify the large amount I paid, seeing that you could purchase the guitar new for $470 in 1998 when it was first released. I tell myself that $470 in 1998 is now worth $617 according to the inflation calculator and if a guitar like this was in production now it would cost that much.
I would have purchased this used, but I'm such a stickler for new guitars and I had the money, so...
What do you think?
