£178 plus some small change with shipping.

Body shape is pretty much the same as the Squier model. Headstock isn't awful. Scale length is actually just under half an inch longer than the Squier. Instead of three individual pick up switches and a bass strangle/cut off switch you get a single Strat style five position blade switch and no bass cut off (unless it's hidden in the tone knob). Like it's inspiration it has a single master volume and master tone knob for all three pick ups. Unlike it (and any other Fender/Squier guitar or bass that comes to mind) it's gor a Gibson style hard tail/Tuneamatic bridge. Hard to tell, but looks like Jaguar style pick ups. No separate control plate.

Fretboard is actually maple (thermally treated, apparently). Not rosewood.
