Been doing a bit of homework on the ‘ Dan Smith’ era Fenders. Seem to have a bit of a following due to dropping numbers made and quality control moving up the scale. This one obviously falls in that category. Aside from the hype I evaluate by how I gel with it which is favourable at this stage. So I’m getting around 2k as a ball park. Having a refin obviously drops the price.
