Once again I'm reminded of the day I saw a lefty Fireglo V63 hanging on the wall in Maggio's Music, Brooklyn and deemed the $1200 asking price "too rich for my blood".

It is a tad high IMHO, by about a grand. But then again there were only 12(?) lefty V63's made. And don't quote me on this but I think only 3 or 4 of those were Mapleglo. The owner of Nationwide is a decent guy and there is room to negotiate with him if you are seriously thinking of buying this. |

It's on hold. Wonder what the offer was for. |

Cool bass. Looks like there might be a small amount of bridge lift from the first pic. Anybody else see that? |

My 1974 Jet Glo 4003 (long gone) cost me $600. brand new at Manny's. Yeah, it really wasn't that long ago (maybe a decade+ ago?) that you could still get a lefty Rick off ebay for about $700-800. I do recall a few late 70's Rick 4001s going for that amount, (I got my '79 NM Burgundyglo in 2002-3? for about $900 from The Music Connection). So when you consider what one might have paid for a new one back in the 70's only to get face value or slightly more almost 30 years later, they were criminally undervalued. They just didn't have the market value of a Fender at the time. |
