I have made a few references now to how disappointed I was when I felt the necks on these. Gritty, rough and cheap feeling.

Yeah but possibly something that can be easily sorted with a bit of extremely fine sandpaper? You're much more expert on that sort of thing than me.

Well, at £700-£800, that’s a bit crap isn’t it. Hence the “crappy” neck quip.

shame, the Jackson C5P I had for years absolutely had one of the nicest necks I’ve ever played. 
 

The rest of the stuff seemed good on paper.

At the end of the day I'd love a Spector with a reverse PJ set up on 5 string (EMGs plus 35" scale) but they can't be arsed to bring one out, so this is a poor man's alternative and entirely appropriate therefore it has a rough 'red neck' 😁

Now just £575 at GAK. Defo not so crap at that price.

And as you say, the rest of it looks very good on paper.

Well. I think £575 should come with a decent finish. I also hasten to add that the pickguards looked like they’d been cut with a butter knife while blindfolded.

Maybe the 2 I saw were Friday afternoon jobs.

but they Undid the desire for me there and then.

Just Jan sales.

I've seen a couple of Sandberg Panthers on for £1.5k and not the usual £2.2k - nothing to do with quality, just stuff not shifting with what's going on. 

I picked up my Spector in some Anderton sales in 2019 and was lucky to get for a great price.

It's Fender's design team at their best, take a random selection of parts out of the bin and make s guitar out of it.

I just cannot believe someone if not a group of people round the table signed off on this. 

It’s not even a “swing and a miss.”

It’s just god awful. So so stupid.

Ah well, it’s kept me busy tonight...

It's like the FA Cup draw. They pull a few numbers out of a bag, see what parts the numbers correspond to and screw it together. Hey presto! Parallel pawn shop universe thing!!!
