Thanks for the tip, hardkiss.
No luck, either. They seem to have prices higher than usual and even those rare that are on sale came out high. (Calypso Jr. $51 after 40% discount)

explain me the new old stock thing... :confused:

a friend bought a NOS Fender guitar, which is the exact replica of a guitar made in the 60's except it's been made recently. I saw a lot of NOS Spydercos recently on eBay, does it mean they're old style models just made recently or that they found some old stock in the back of the store?

(anyway, a wegner jr for 75$ wowww! nice!)

Senate, I wouldn't call your friends guitar NOS, but a reproduction.

NOS to me means product that was manufactured a while ago, never sold, forgotten about, misplaced until recently found or you name it, but yet it's still new in the box. I've seen stuff called NOS because the packaging was changed and now you have stuff laying around with old graphics.

thanks for clarifying this GC, I checked the Fender webpage and this is how they define it:
N.O.S. (New Old Stock): As if the guitar was discovered in a warehouse after many years, never played and showing no signs of wear.
it's just a label in fact... :)

I wish the 40% off was on their normal retail price, but they are taking it off the manufacture suggested retail price, which means high price, they quoted me a lil temperance at $200 msrp, before the 40% off, seems kinda high to me, but I have a PE Peter Herbst and Calypso coming, the prices are ok but it is nice to know they are new in the box

Yeah, Fender doesn't use the term right at all. They should be called LIKE N.O.S. They charge an arm and a leg for them too. They have three classes, N.O.S., Relic (made to look worn and old, including rust, nicks, and scratches) and Closet Classic (made to look old with finish cracking, but without the rust and scratches) All of these are a waste of money IMO.

N.O.S. in Spyderco's and Auto Parts are the real deal, New parts, that are actually OLD. Just like greencobra said.

Is there someone that can call for me because it's a long distance call for me :$

I'm looking for a Chris Reeves Green Beret (5.5 or 7")

If they have it I'll call them to place the order :D

You can't afford to make a call, but you can afford knives? A true knife junkie, nice to have you around.

well I prefer to spend more on a knife than to make calls

and the problem is that I would have to make this call with my cell phone and that would be really pricey :|
