2002 | $719.99 | new | guitar-list | Fender's U.S. suggested retail price for a new SJ-65.. |
1999 | $325 | new | Mikki | The only reason I got it at this price was because guitar center was having a huge blowout sale or something with alot of discounts. When the discounts totaled up it came to about half off! I love my Fender SJ-65! It has great sound. |
2002 | $325 | good | Nice. It's made of real wood--not plywood or Nato or whatever the marketers call that trash lumber they get off the bottom of the trucks where the bark falls off the logs. Not high-end, but a real nice couch strummer. | |
