Im in love with the new CS pickups added in the 2012 strat, and just by january ill have the money to buy a 2012 strat, now the price of the 2012 strat is very low and i dont know if ill have time to buy a 2012 version before the 2013 model replaces it! So... somebody know when fender usually updates their models?? >_<

Whenever they do, I think you can be sure that there will be stock of something as common as that, leftover from 2012 in January 2013.

It's not as if, come January 1, all the unsold ones disappear and the cost of a 2013 model goes up, or something :)

It would depend on your country, for a start -- and you don't seem to have yours listed in your profile, or in the OP, for me to answer.

There's also what the RRP is, and what a store will actually charge you.

For example, my latest purchase here in Australia has a $1500 RRP but was $1050 on the shelf.

In Canada the 2012 American Standard seems to be going for about $1099 and with the current Fender promotion you can save $100 off that price until the end of January.

Last update for this model was 2008 before the 2012 update so I doubt it will be updated again in 2013, but then again you never know.

Upgrades or not, there's the likelihood of shops putting a price rise on the 2013 Strat when it comes out if they can get away with it, simply because some people gotta have the one with the latest date on it. So it's a great time to be purchasing the previous year's model - which, as previously mentioned, is sure to be found in most stores for months (and sometimes years) to come.

Odd thing about guitarists. They want the absolute newest guitar out the factory. Or they want the oldest possible guitar. But last year's model? Ew, yuk! Man, that's so 31st of December...! :lol:

Cheers - C
