Pretty cool looking - not sure what those usually go for - but note that with shipping it totals almost $325 if you go BIN.

The Vistas are, from what I've played, great guitars. (Particularly, I love my Jagmaster!)

So, as has been said, up to $275 would be a fantastic deal.

This musicmaster is not a true Vista Series, it was made in China and kinda tacked onto the Vista Series.

but the fact that it is labled "vista series," makes it part of the series. regardless of where it was made. vista is in california by the way, so technically, none of them are vista's. it may not have the same quality of the jap guitars, but it is from the series.

EDIT: i'd also rather have a chinese squier than an indonesian squier.

I am not saying it's a bad guitar, but it wasn't made in Fender Japan like the other Vista Series guitars. Materials and production methods much different in Japan and China.

i didn't say you said it was a bad guitar, you did however say that it isn't really a vista series, when in fact, it is.

In name only. Its definitely of lesser quality.

Check this out regarding the Squier MusicMaster:

I saw that it is actually a 24.75 scale (Gibson scale).
