Ive bought second hand and lost out with poor instruments, (although not always) and really you dont have any way of changing that. When it's new you can choose the one you want. The one in store no good? Ask for another until you are happy. Plus you have a guarantee. A well made American Standard (2008-) will last you for a long time. Plus, they don't need mods. Fender P pickups are perfect. The Squier CVs are stunning for their money but I know deep down I'll always prefer my MIA P because to me it's perfect out of the box. Don't worry about resale. People will soon realise the Fender prices have shot up so second hand 2008- models will gain value in the second hand market.[/quote] +1
