Thanks Tim
I=E2=80=99d take 1200 for an outright purchase (would that be of interest?)
However I was looking to p/ex for the Fender American Ultra II Stratocaster -=
 Ultraburst, Ebony that you have. Only problem then is the shortfall of 900.=
=20
Could you meet anywhere in the middle on that p/ex?

Thanks and best regards
Phil
