I have to admit it looks like something our Sino friends knock up in their spare time.

As much as I love Fenders (a lot) I don’t see the point any more. You can get something built exactly how you want to the smallest detail for the same or less money with literally no compromises. Having said that I own two. Make of that what you will. I really should have got one of those polish bases whose names I cannot even attempt to spell and spent the rest on a nice holiday. Hey ho lol !

What’s the John Birch like ?

Thank you. It’s technically Montezuma Brown, which I think used to be called Autumn Glow ?

2359 seems to be the average sticker price in the big stores currently.

And here it is 14 years later, sans pickup cover

And more I’m afraid. This ones a limited colour also, so was somewhat of a bargain even back then.

That seems a bargain now 9 years later lol

Modern radius board and frets. I quite like this idea actually, it’s predominantly why I got a Geddy Lee. I prefer the look and the finish (especially if it’s nitro) of the older stuff, but I don’t really get on with the radius and thin frets. Price though ? Ouch !

Lol ! Well at least I got it out of the way early. The locking strap lock on my Ric sheared off internally and the bass nose dived into the ground. That was a source of much cursing.

Argh, you can see the chip if you zoom in on that photo. Im so bloody angry about that.

I do love the look of the covers. Not exactly pratical though. They’ll probably come off.

Annoyingly I chipped the headstock on it within 12 hours of owning it. Gutted the neck is very deep back to front, much deeper than my Geddy Lee. It’s actualy very similar to th neck on my Ric.

I used to have a four string one of these years ago with the logo on the body. Mine was a PJ though They’re really very good. Should have kept it.

Well having sold my AVRI 62 P and feeling rather sad about it. I decided the best thing to do was buy an AVRI Jazz. Found it on a Facebook group at a decent price so off I went to take a look It’s in pretty much brand new condition complete with the plastic on the plate and pegs. It does need a setup and the board needs oiling desperately, however I’m rather pleased with it ! Just need some flares now. Aint she pretty ?! ;-)
