FENDER FLAME

It would be interesting to see what yours is worth despite that bridge mod.

I check ebay weekly, and watch the Flame prices. The average is about $1200. I've only seen 2 go for under $1000. One was a green burst, beat to hell, missing tons of parts, a total project guitar (over $800). That black Flame I posted a few months ago, sold for $800, it had the rare factory tremolo... can't figure out why it didn't go for over $1200!?

Best $200 I've ever spent. Hopefully will get a Flame with a tremolo later this year

I've seen a Flame Ultra (gold pole pieces & hardware, 7 ply binding, TBX tone, Split switch, block inlay) go for $900 on Ebay in Europe. In two years of watching the bay, that was the absolute first Ultra I've ever seen. We just got our first Flame Ultra on ebay last month, it was a beater, it sold for over $1200 in rough shape.

Some times you guys get better deals over there. I don't know if it's cause nobody knows about the guitar. Or if it's so rare over there that nobody bother checking ebay for them.
