So Im looking for another Fender vintage 62 jazzmaster reissue.
In white, to fulfill my dream of having an all white one....
Preferably used, but cannot find any on ebay.
New or used.
Any good advice on other places to check?
Good online used stores?
And I must add , trustworthy and willing to send to europe...

hate to say it, but guitar center used. I dont know if they ship internationally, but there are often good prices and product there.

man i would feel really sketchy about buying a guitar of any substantial from guitar center. ijust think their standards in general are shit, they will take in anything "vintage" and not do a damn thing to fix any issues with it. case in pointi pulled a 70s les paul off the wall in a GC a couple months ago, the fucking thing did not stay in tune for more than 20 seconds at a time
try elderly and gruhns, i dont know if they ship international, but at least you now youre going to get a totally top notch instrument..best of luck

Thanks!
For some weird reason the 62 reissues are suddenly hard to find, both used and new.
A couple of years ago they were everywhere..

Thanks for all the answers.
That french site has the exact guitar, but my french is pretty non existent. And I want to be sure its a safe place to order from when its that much money... Any experience with the site? Is it a french craigslist type thing?

if you have to speak french online, this is what i do on ebay..write very simple direct messages, use google translate to translate them to french, then translate them back to english and make sure you get back in english what you intended. might take u a few tries. i dont know if this is foolproof but it has worked for me so far

Leboncoin (thegoodplace

) is totaly a french craigslist.
I bought and sold a bunch of stuffs on Leboncoin, it's pretty super safe. I have bought many pedals, guitars and amps. I have sold many pedals, guitars and amps. I never had any issues with anyone.
You just have to be sure that the guy will be agree to ship overseas, but I guess it's doable.
the guy says "full stock guitar, bought in 02/2010, mint, with original Fender Deluxe hardshell case, more pics if you need some, NO TRADE"
I could do the translation if you need me to, it'll be my pleasure to help

Yah, even to Australia. The new owner is much better than the last.
