From Chicago Music Exchange

$400 is pretty good for a decent condition JS, right?

Cheapest I have ever seen a Fiesta Red Jag-stang was $350 and that was pawn shop. Do it! I will add myself to the long line of dibs.

Yup. I once bought a Mustang with black pickup covers and white switches. That shit got changed straight away!

yeah, that's pretty good for a decent condition js. those things are volatile in price. . . i've seen them sell for three times that.

Saw one for 595 here at a shop just last week. One of the red ones.

Yeah, I don't care if I'm lefty, I'd buy any Jagstang I came across at this point just because they constantly go through periods of selling for retarded high amounts.

Did you ever check on that Lefty Jag-stang I bought for Sven on CL? I don't think his friend ended up buying it from him. It was pretty awesome. Paid $600 for it, which is amazing for a lefy one.

Yeah, he had long sold it on by the time I found out about it.

That's a great deal for a Jagstang, and it's even better considering it has upgraded pickups. Hot rail in the neck? I'd buy this right now if I had the money :/

+ eleventy billion.
I really don't understand this AT ALL.

Like the price of MIJ Jag-Stangs is somehow tied to crude oil or something else completely arbitrary.
Locally i have seen righties sell for $400-$900 in good condition with a case.
Thrashed ones go for $250-$500.
Those ranges drive me batty.

i bought one high and sold it low to get some cash in hand to buy a brand new '65RI mustang at ~20% off the advertised price.
Should have held onto the Jag-Stang instead of taking the loss.

Some have speculated (probably just the folks selling them) that there's a pretty good chance the original MIJ/CIJ run could appreciate in value due to:
-teh kurdt legacy
-a relatively low number of them having been made
-probably not the most cared for set of guitars; would probably be fewer examples of them remaining in 'good shape' every year.

But I dunno if i believe the hype.
I'd probably pull the trigger if a local one popped up outta the woodwork, but i'm not actively persuing them.

thats a good price for a j-stang with the pickups also changed.

and the switches you can just paint black.

Good deal with case and pickup upgrades. Id be tempted if I wasnt abroad.

This is what I'm hoping for with mine. Left handed, Sonic blue, Barely play it because it sounds like shit. Had it around 10 years now.
