Best retailers?

[woody]

Looking for a AV62 Jazzmaster, new or used.  Location pretty much limits me to online dealers. Any advice on dealers with best prices and customer service, or other sources for used gear (other forums or lists) would be most appreciated.
Thanks, all!

I bought mine on Ebay.  There are good deals to be found, but you have to shop around.  Unfortunately, Fender is out of stock for the next few months, so finding a new one may prove difficult.

Thanks for the response. How do you know that "Fender is out of stock for the next few months" ?  Nothing much on ebay right now.

Well, I guess Musicians Friend is showing a couple colors of JM's in stock!  Any Fender dealer can enquire to the warehouse to see whether a guitar is in stock.  I read somewhere else in the forum that Fender is out of Jazzmasters, and won't be producing anymore for a few months.

Dayum!
Figures they'd be slacking when I got the wants for one.
Maybe someone's trying to tell me something...

Thanks, waltkh5. I'll check them out. I might check out Ishibashi as well. I'b prefer an AV, but if it's gonna be a hassle...

If you are still looking, try Midtown Music in Atlanta.  They only show 1 -- a sunburst -- right now on their Web site, but they usually carry them.  When I bought mine 18 months ago, they had most of the colors and a great used Custom Shop JM.  Great shop for amps and fine guitars.

Good luck.

Thanks Hoyt! I think I have a line a nice used one. We'll see how this plays out.
