my only concern is paying over £3k for something that has no options apart from colour

Now you know how Gibson Les Paul owners feel

They’re listing them on their website for £3195….so they’re gonna need to be hand built IMO. It mentions that they are ‘USA Master Series’, but stops short of saying where they’re built. 
 

Edit: Had to dig, but elsewhere on the site it states that “The Master Series lineup is designed and crafted in Southern California”.

The price is about right really, considering the costs of the far east Dingwalls and similar.  Basically the same cost as a new StingRay, so even at production line level rather than handbuilt, its still not overpriced really, provided it is indeed built in the US.

Oh I agree, for US built, it wasn’t immediately clear though, so the price tag was jarring at first.

Good point! Would still like some variation on options

Just wanted to see if anyone tried an Abasi bass on here

I know what it reminds me of.

I'm assuming that there are no left handed versions available
