Fender American Standard Telecaster, 2112 (2018.01.26)
Picked this one up on Reverb.com for $800+$60 shipping - 1% discount, total about $850. I was hoping to get a slab body without the belly cut, but went ahead and took the plunge with this one. Maybe if one comes up on craigslist I will check it out. This should wrap up my collection and I hope this will be my last purchase for a while.
Reverb.com ad.
I have a little side gig doing custom refinishes, and I acquired this American Standard Tele for a project. I just didn't have the heart to cover up the exceptional ash wood grain on this one. Very nice figuring, and it's a perfectly matched two-piece body. (Most Fenders I come across these days are three piece.)
Guitar is in beautiful condition with minor signs of use (two very small dings are documented in my last couple of pictures). Zero buckle rash and no scratches anywhere. Recent setup with nice, comfortably low action. Includes a spotless Fender case, along with all the extras—wrenches, strap, cord, manual and other paperwork.
As with all of my listings I price realistically using Reverb's selling history tool.
Happy to answer questions or provide additional photos on request.

Fender American Standard Jazz Bass (2018.01.07)
Craigslist hit for $700. I am thinking or reinstalling the original pickup and sell the Seymour Duncan for $50. Also hope to sell the MIM Jazz Bass after picking up this one.

Fender Stratocaster MIM (2017.12.25)
Craigslist hit for $160. Originally advertised for $180, but I bargained for $20 off. The seller drove to Del Mar to deliver it on Xmas day at 9am so worked out well. The only issue is that the backside of the headstock has peeling laminate that was not noticeable in the ad photos, so a little disappointed. However for $160, it was a nice score. I compared it with my American Standard and actually sounds better. But I think it might be because of the strings. Also it was at low volume, so perhaps not an accurate test. I might hold on to it for a while, but originally plan to try to turn a profit. It included a nice and clean "Silverstone"gig bag and some wrenches which already came in handy.
original cl ad:
I am selling the Stratocaster I assembled years ago. Parts sourced from EBAY seller "Stratosphere". Absolutely no issues with it. Olympic white body. 1970's 3-bolt neck. Large CBS headstock. Vintage CBS tuners.
I would like to keep it, But, I am just not playing it anymore. I'm asking just $180 for it. Take a look at the pictures.If you're interested, contact me.
2018.03.09. SOLD
Got $450 on Reverb.com. Sale included a tweed hardcase bought in the Strat/Blues Jr deal, so overall about $400 just for the guitar. Thanks sums to $240 net.
Ibanez Art300 Caiman (2017.12.23)
Traded for Line 6 HD150 and 4x12 cabbecause it was difficult finding a buyer and could not unload the amp. This trade included the guitar, hard case and $65 and some picks tucked away in the case pocket. Some of the picks were carved out of old credit cards. After using some of the cc-picks, they are actually not bad and a good use of expired credit cards. I drove 70 miles round trip to deliver it in El Cajon. I have listed in on Reverb.com to try and recover the cost of the Line 6 amp and cabinet.
Epiphone ES-339 Dot (2017.12.22)

Fender American Standard Telecaster, 1992 (2017.10.23 - SOLD Dec.2017)
On a guitar buying rampage. I picked up this guitar from craigslist for $600. Somehow I have justified building my collection back up since my move to SD from Tokyo.

The seller included a Fender hard case and strap.

If the ad is up it is still available.The neck lacquer was starting to crack all along the back of the neck, giving it an unpleasant feel. Either sand it down, or get rid of it. Sold on Reverb.com for $750 - $50 commision, totalling $700 in pocket. Since I bought it for $600 I ending up making $100 plus the Fender logo leather strap.
Fender Jazz Bass MIM (2017.10.21 - SOLD 2018.01.08)
I picked up this guitar from craigslist for $310. It included a nice Levy's leather strap and mogami cable and flat wound strings. After wiping it down and cleaning up the fret board, it turned out quite nice. The action is quite high, so I plan to replace the bridge with a badass bridge knock off. Below is the original photo from the cl ad.

I picked up this guitar from craigslist for $250. It included at guitar stand, but no case or strap. I wanted a red or natural, but 339 are no so common on cl, so I went ahead and picked it up.

Fender Stratocaster - American Standard - Made in USA (SOLD end of 2016)
Bought this one used on Yahoo Auction for 70,000 jpy with a hard case and pickup assembly with Fender Custom Shop Pickups. I ended up selling the assembly for 20,000 jpy, the hard case for 9000 jpy and the guitar for 57,000 jpy. I picked up another used strat because I did not like the sound of this one. I will upload the photos of the other strat soon.
Fender Stratocaster - BlackTop HH - Made in Mexico (SOLD end of 2016)
Bought this one on Yahoo Auction for 30,000 jpy. I replaced the mint green pickguard with this pearloid red one and tuning keys with Fender locking tuners. Since it is MIM, the tuners dropped in as-is making it a super easy upgrade. This is my main guitar I use when going to studio practice because I can beat it up and also get many different sounds with the dual hums wired for single coil in position 2 and 4.
Ibanez AS80 - Made in Japan (SOLD end of 2016)
I bought this one on Yahoo Auction for 80,000 jpy with the original hard case. I always liked the beauty of semi-acoustic guitars and dream of playing jazz like John Scofield. At least I can own a guitar that has the potential.
Fender American Standard Jazz Bass - Made in USA (SOLD end of 2016)
I bought this one used off craigslist. The guy was needed cash to make child care payments and had a stock of guitars he never touched. He mentioned he played a USA made telecaster he loved and just had this bass for kicks. It came with a tweed hard case for 40,000 jpy. I ended up selling the tweed case for 12,500 jpy making the price to be 27,500 jpy. Quite a steal for such a nice bass. I use it with the band fill in bass for because they could not find a bass player at the time. Now I am stuck in that role, however get to use this bass quite a lot. The frets are getting a little worn on this one.
Fender Telecaster - '72 Deluxe Reissue - Made in Mexico (SOLD end of 2016)
Just picked up this guitar off Yahoo Auction for 45,000 jpy. I got infatuated with this guitar after seeing on the Lenny Kravits video "Are You Gonna Go My Way". This one seems to have a problem with grounding or noise, so I might have to rip it open and remedy the noise issue. At the moment a pending project.
