Really? I don't see that at all:

As I mentioned, I refuse to buy off Ebay. Too many bad experiences.
But I did price them a few weeks ago. Out of 10, only 2 went for under
$500. Average price was $640.

I like them too but they apparantly aren't making many due to lack
of demand. The only authorized seller has only Red and only one in
stock. Burst isn't due "till Spring."

I like the Jagmaster ALOT, especially the price! But I was concerned
about the tone with humbuckers. I didn't think P90's would give me
a good surf type tone but...
I just noticed the original Jaguars had P90's.
Is this true?
