How the Fender price increases affected our favorite guitars

We wanted to document the price increases Fender has introduced this February 2009. The prices below are general retail prices in US dollars.

Fender Guitar Prices
  • ‘65 Mustang Reissue increases from $699 to $939.
  • Classic Player Jaguars and Jazzmasters increase from the $799-$849 range to the $1069-$1119 range.
  • American Vintage Jaguars and Jazzmasters increase from $1499 to $1900.
  • J Mascis Jazzmaster increases from $999 to $1269.
  • Squier Jagmaster increases from $249 to $279.

There are still some guitar retailers around who are offering their old stock at the older prices.  So if you’ve been on the fence about picking one up it would be a good time.
