Robert Manning Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Lets say new (as new), might be getting one, i know they used to be £499, but shot up. there resale value gone up too? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Think the last second hand one in great condition went for £380 on here. Second hand value on Fenders generally does not seem to be keeping up with the big price increase on new ones, that we have seen this year (IMO). Makes 2nd hand even better value. I had a first series Highway 1 and it was probably the best value (and playing! ) USA Fender Jazz I have owned. Good luck whatever. Karl.

karlfer Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 It's got a case, which is far from standard. I would personally contact and tell him, "if you ever decide you will accept £420 for it , cash, collected,would you give me a call please"? Probably worth that now I would think. As ever, it's down to how many people looking at it, and how desperate he is to sell. Good luck, Karl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karlfer Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Bummer you got a rough one. Most folk who've had HW1's seem to have really liked them. Fender eh . Good luck, Karl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
