That's along the lines of the current troll on ottawa kijiji asking for a gibson les paul for 400$ (but a HSC is a must)

But he's not picky as he will also take an American Strat for $400.

1983 Fender Stratocaster Made in U.S.A - Hamilton Musical Instruments For Sale - Kijiji Hamilton Canada.

Vintage my a**!

 

[smorgdonkey]

So, it isn't a 1983?

If it is a 1983, I have no issue with someone calling it vintage. 30 years is 30 years. A '69 Strat was called vintage in 1984 and that was only 15 years. It only matters if you get caught up in the connotation of vintage.

A few people must have taken potshots at his adverts because I noticed over the weekend that they were appearing with, "... won't reply to childish responses." Or something like that.

He's certainly an annoying waste of space and oxygen.

The best part about that ad IIRC, is that the gig bag had been bedazzled too . bling bling !!!!!

To me, "vintage" implies a quality beyond just age.
Calling something merely old but unremarkable "vintage", just seems off....although its largely subjective.

but to me its like when fat girls call themselves curvy or voluptuous...its misleading

"$1200 for 4 year old American Standard Tele. Oh and you're getting a deal because the MSRP is $1569!!".

ya, but the "little marks here and there..." cost extra . And "...people across ontario..." like it, so it must be good

don't forget all that tax you'd be saving

It's an '83, but 2-knobbers were the absolute low point in the history of the Strat. That's not vintage, it's just a 30 yr old POS.

This being said, if it was clean (notice the screw holes on the face of the headstock from the locking trem) & reasonably priced, it might be a good investment. The poor quality & design concept meant that not a whole lot were made, so it may eventually have some oddball collectibility factor.

In 1984 a '69 Strat was probably just called "used".

P.S. Big girls need lovin' too....and their gratitude usually motivates them to try harder....but pls tell me you didn't fall for that BBW crap.

I wonder if this is the same arsehole that kept e-mailing offering $500 "quick X-Mas cash" for an absolutely killer (i.e. good enough to chase an Andy out the door) 97 Am Std Strat in excellent condition.

When I politely said no thank you, despite having never seen the guitar in person, let alone play it, he launched into this major diatribe about how terrible 90s Strats were. If it was such a POS then why did he keep hounding me to buy it? Dink.

P.S. Both the Am Strat & the Andy found their way to forum members & last I've heard the current owners are quite happy w/ their purchases.

Round here, I've just been seeing a number of Highway One series Fenders posted as "American Standard" Fenders - and of course they're asking more than a Highway One even costs to buy new.

The other funny thing is those who don't understand what "MSRP" pricing is versus retail. "This Fender lists at $1999 so I'm only asking $1300", meanwhile actual retail price is $1000.

Also recently saw a "vintage 1972 Telecater" asking $2000 turn into a "Partscaster" asking $400 over the space of a week.

So here it's mainly just pricing that's wacky. People want $900+ for their used AS Fender but they can be had brand new all day long for under $900 on Hello Music's website.

Not sure what he is saying - maybe one of you can figure it out. Anyway, the ad is posted in Kijiji Toronto, but the instruments are in Halifax.
