    NGD Fender Jazzmaster Elvis Costello

    Well, I traded for this guitar tonight and I have to say I'm very pleased. It does need some minor adjustments however it is beautiful and plays very well!

    I cannot find another example online anywhere. Does anyone have an idea of worth or original retail pricing? What is the difference also between this Elvis signature series and a normal AVRI Jazzmaster? Was this a limited production model?

    Thanks for your replies, I'm going to jam!

    I think the new "street price" was around $1,400.

    Nice score.

    The page for the guitar has been taken down, so you've got a limited model. You've got a keeper there if she's playing well.

    Re: NGD Fender Jazzmaster Elvis Costello

    So the man that inspired my dad to learn how to play guitar is thinking about getting rid of his early 70's LP deluxe. It's cherry sunburst with lots of play wear (all original). When I was learning to play this guitar inspired me and my first 'nice' guitar was an 80's LP deluxe but have since sold it regrettably. I've always said if this guitar becomes available I wanted to try and get it. The owner of said 70's LP is looking for something 'different'. I have a feeler out there about a possible trade for this EC JM.

    Bad Idea to trade with the rarity of this model or is sentimental value and mojo actually worth more?

    Depends on how well the EC plays. If it doesn't do it for you, then trade. If you love it and it speaks to you as a player, keep it. Easy for me to say...

    See which one you like better. No offense, but so what if the JM is rare? If you dig the LP then go for it.

    I agree. Who cares if it's rare.

    Turns out the guy wants cash only and $3000 at that. He has some serious sentimental value attached to the LP.

    I've been playing this Jazzmaster more than any of my other guitars and I love it. I doubt I would trade even if he wanted to now that I've had time with the new one.

    Thanks for your input!

    I don't think I'd pay extra for a guitar for someone else's sentimental values!

    Me either.

    As for my JM, it ain't for sale. I've had offers but I just won't part with it. Sentimentality is a funny thing.

    Enjoy your new geetar! Hope you didn't take my previous comments wrong.

    Chuckocaster, no offense taken. That LP is a pipe dream that could only happen if I won the lottery...
