2007-8 Thin Skin Jaguar market prices

Post by stratoblaster » Sat Sep 11, 2021 4:38 am

Can I get some opinions of the current going rate for a 07-08 era Thin Skin Jaguar in Seafoam Green? I found one locally but I'm out of the loop on the current fair market price for these. Pre-Pandemic I'm pretty comfortable with what I would have paid. Today, guitar prices are all over the map but most of them seem to have moved far north. THX in advance.

Following.

I have a 2008 TS Jaguar in Sonic Blue that has faded to (something like) Seafoam Green. I'm not a big fan of the tall frets, but otherwise, it's great. Image
If I was a byrd, I'd be mighty sore every time they shut the door and I don't think I'd sing...

I just bought one in CAR in Mint condition for 2000 cash, no tax from a local guy on CL. Really no idea what the going rate is because of the rarity and none listed for sale currently but I would list it for at least 3000 on the verb I think. I'm going to hold on for it for a bit. Sad thing is I don't want to play it because of the condition so it's destined to be a closet queen until I eventually flip it.

When I had a Reverb watch on them only a handful popped up so the market was basically 'whatever the one available is asking,' asking prices were north of $2500.

I have a 07 JM and hated the frets. Really made no sense why someone would put those awful high frets on a vintage styled guitar. Had a tech make them more vintage correct and I am finally in love with the guitar.

I sold my fiesta red 2008 Jaguar thin skin limited edition nearly a year ago for 2000€. This is the same price I paid for it 2 years before.
Reasons for selling it: Incredible senseless heavyweight... The frets felt horrible to me... The sound: Too modern and sterile at last.
I don´t regret selling it!!!
(The new Squier Jags in silver sparkle are much better all in all imo.)

I had a shoreline gold one, traded for a Rickenbacker 620 and cash years ago. Wanted to love it; hated the huge frets.
