Not crazy IMHO.Would I be wrong for returning my new SS SE? I mean, there’s nothing wrong with it. In fact, there’s everything right with it. Seriously, it sounds fantastic, and plays fantastic, but so does my old 62 reissue (warts and all - it’s like an old pair of jeans you feel so comfortable in.) I’m not sure I can justify keeping the SS SE (although I could probably rationalize it.)
I’m sure someone else would love to get their hands on one now ( instead of waiting 3-6 months) so I think I’ll contact the store tomorrow about returning it.
Am I crazy?
No biggie. I have an original Silver Sky and I wouldn't get the SE. I think it's just made for a lower price point. The Silver Sky is my holy grail Strat type guitar. I have a parts strat with Nitro Fender body, Warmoth neck and 69 Fender Custom Shop pickups. It's a good strat but not as good as the Silver Sky (USA made)Would I be wrong for returning my new SS SE?

I really can't fault the SS SE in any way, and can't imagine what a USA-made SS would give me that this SE doesn't. It unfortunately doesn't give me anything significantly different from what I already have. Each of my guitars (Custom, McCarty, SE Hollowbody II, Angelus, Strat, Jazzmaster and Tele) is distinctly different tonally - that's the reason I buy what I buy - but this SS is unfortunately a clear overlap. Anyone is welcome to take it off my hands before it goes back. ;-)No biggie. I have an original Silver Sky and I wouldn't get the SE. I think it's just made for a lower price point.

“A cheaply made Asian import”…? And you’re speaking from a position of experience with the guitar and intimate knowledge of their manufacturing processes, of course. Unbelievable.The strat has better hardware and pickups and isn’t made from a cheap, soft wood like poplar?
the SE SS is a disappointment imho. $899 for a cheaply made Asian import? I think with the specs the classic vibe strat is a far better buy. But obviously Paul knows what he’s doing because the SS is flying off the shelves.
New England Craigslist has one too for 950
That was my listing (and I actually changed it to $900 shortly after posting it on CL.) Pretty much a break even for me - not trying to make any money off it - just hoping to avoid the hassle of shipping it back. But the store is great about returns, and I might just return it to them - will email the store later. I figured someone local in New England would want to grab it. Did get an immediate response, but it involved a trade, which I wasn't interested in.I think that asking price is not so rapacious. The seller would get his $$ back after sales tax plus maybe $35 unless he's talked down.

It’s simple economics. The market will bear what consumers are willing to pay. As you’ve just illustrated, you’re not willing to pay that price, and assuming others aren’t either, the price will eventually come down.No disrespect intended DB, I am still steaming from a used Knaggs I saw this morning, prices across the board used are stupid high, and it can’t be from supply chain because tons are available.
