Leo Fender Sells Fender Guitars - Jan 4th 1965  

You can post links, but you have to type them in! I've looked at most of those links and then decided they are mostly, ok completely out of my price range.
I remember back about 20 years ago. I would go into a guitar shop and their used section was full of fenders, gibsons, rickenbackers and the prices were very reasonable(about 1/2 to 1/3 of the price of a new guitar). I wish I had collected a few back then.

This'll kill ya...I have a friend on a guitar board that has his own little guitar selling business and while he handles Italia and a couple of others (Italia is a great guitar, I have a Modulo model) he makes the rounds of pawn shops and picks up gorgeous guitars for a song. That's the luckiest man I've ever known when it comes to getting bargains! He finds all kinds of Fenders and Gibsons and other makes, fixes what needs fixing (very little, usually) and makes a tidy profit. Of course, guitars are his weakness so he keeps the real prizes. ;-)
