What do they COST?

Laxjunkee · November 2nd, 2009, 09:12 PM

Does anyone know what the actual "cost" that a Fender Dealer pays for a guitar? I am specifically looking to see the $$ for the 2009 Fender Amer. Std. Tele; Natural/Maple. I bought it recently and want to make sure I get a decent deal before time runs out to return it if I can find a better deal out there... thanks for the info!

IIRC bigger dealers pay around 50% of list, smaller dealers 60-65% of list.

Dealers pay 1/2 of the list price in the USA.

So if the guitar lists for $1000 the dealer pays $500
