Why we selected it today

The American Ultra Precision is Fender’s high‑tier US Precision line, and this Ultraburst example is offered at $1,729. The site’s value metrics treat this as Good/Great value against a historical like‑for‑like benchmark: the benchmark asking price is $2,140.03 and the historical median asking price $2,067.68, making the listing about 19% below the benchmark. The benchmark is a historical like‑for‑like asking‑price measure — today’s live like‑for‑like pool is thinner than normal — and these are observed asking prices, not confirmed sale prices.
