This isn't a "crazy good deal" per se but this seemed the best place for this:
The contemporary (not affinity one) Squire semi-hollow Starcaster. The new ones are $450 in a world where Squire jags this month go for $480 and $600.
I have the modern player Coronado and Starcaster and the Starcaster roars if you like that. I grabbed a walnut squire and an affinity to see if they would hold up. I couldn't take the neck of the affinity but the contemporary Starcaster rocked impressively. It is easily the best value of a low price Fender I've come across right out of the box anytime in the last year or so. I don't know why with current prices this isn't $600. Make a deal directly with a seller and you could prob pick one up for close to $400 before the price goes up or they disappear.. It's no Bass VI on the resale market but I bet within 5 years it'll be worth double what you can grab it for now so there isn't much downside if you don't gel with it.
