Rollin Thunder Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 looks like a pirate treasure map, like the one on the Goonies (other pirate based treasure maps are available) Quote

pineweasel Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 Not my cup of tea, and a crazy price. But I do like the sensible separate control plate. I don't think I've seen that on a new Fender P before? Quote
Bigguy2017 Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 You'd think a custom builder would try to get the scratch plate and control plates to line up. Quote

Expand How many times do you see that on a Fender Jazz - loads. You’re right, should no way happen when a custom builder is involved. I had a Jazz Deluxe once & the scratch plate & control plate didn’t line up on that. Not very Deluxe. Misaligned plates & gaps in the neck pocket are all too common on Fenders. Just general sloppiness & poor quality control. Quote

Expand It would be good to know what you really think about sunburst finishes? I think you need to get off the fence on this one. 1 Quote

bassfan Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 I feel a bit queezy. On 20/12/2018 at 17:32, TheGreek said: £5,500??? Please show me what I'd be getting for my money.... Expand Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but I reckon you’d be getting an ugly overpriced fender P! 😃 Quote

bassfan Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) Maybe the decimal place is wrong on the website. Mind you, even at £550.00 I wouldn’t take a punt....... Edited December 21, 2018 by bassfan Quote

Now I see what youmean, I previously thought it was a clear one piece P pickguard with the controls area sprayed black 😎 Yes I am overdue an eye test and on the waiting list for cataract replacement surgery. 🤓 Quote
