This may go nowhere, but it never hurts to have some knowledge, just in case. But I have no idea about a fair used price for one of these guitars. I know more or less what the Marshall amp would fetch locally. The seller will not separate the guitar and the amp. If I have to move, I will have to sell some guitars anyway. I am not sure I can afford to buy a guitar - I may be forced to move soon, among other things - but since it is a Greg Bennett design (whose work I like) and a sort of Telecaster, it might be worth thinning the herd to buy it, if it is worthwhile and if I can negotiate a price. Actually, I think this is the same model and colour as the one in the earlier ad - just 100 miles in the opposite direction.
This FA2 has a transparent red finish, like the ones pictured. I am attaching pictures, all from the net. Knowing how much to raise, and if anyone has opinions about this model would be useful. To make an offer, I would sell one or more low-end guitars and maybe a small amp to raise cash. Since I have no actual money to speak of, I am more or less blue-skying this. So, since the accumulated body of guitar knowledge here adds up to about 9000 years, I thought I would throw the question out - what is a reasonable price, in good shape (my question mark key is not working). I found listing for some new ones, but none for used ones that had prices. What I have not found, looking around the net, is much idea of what kind of used prices people are paying for the FA2. The seller has the guitar and amp listed as a package, but as I have an amp I could re-sell the Marshall rehearsal amp, probably at a reasonable price, and recover some of the overall cost. But I have yet to see the Tele clone, and I am curious. My past experience with Bennett guitars has been good - fit and finish has been excellent, and nice players. The tops appear to be quilted and possibly bookmatched, under the transparent red. Like the Malibu, the pickups are `Duncan Designed`.
The Formula series is Greg Bennett`s take on the Telecaster, and the FA2 the high-end of that line, with two lipstick pickups at the neck and mid, and a bridge humbucker. Now oddly, this is the second Bennett Formula I have seen advertized in recent days, in two different towns. I came across an interesting listing today - a Greg Bennett Formula FA2 with a 45 watt Marshall rehearsal or practice amp (do not know the model - 45 watts may be peak power, or optimistic). Since I am pretty immobile, I have been checking out small-town classified ads for guitars, for the sake of interest. Well, I`m back to generally make a nuisance of myself until it`s time to go back to the hospital.
