Hi Ecca,
I had one of the original F.Red Marquees from it's first issue, with the Point Technologies trem. I quite liked it, apart from the neck which was like a log, but it did have quite a nice low action. It cost me £300 new, & although it reputedly had ceramic bar magnet pickups, it sounded quite good. The Trem, with a push-in arm, worked great & was really smooth.
Maybe I was one of the lucky ones. I only sold it, for £200, to a mate about two months ago, as I am trying to reduce my guitar collection to reasonable proportions, & I have an Burns 'Anniversary' Marvin, anyway, so I don't really need the Marquee anymore. I would say that around £200 is about the right price for a good secondhand copy.
Cheers, Tony.
