looks like a pirate treasure map, like the one on the Goonies (other pirate based treasure maps are available)

Ha ha, you could say it's the Sloth (from Goonies) in the current Fender lineup...

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?

You'd think a custom builder would try to get the scratch plate and control plates to line up.

 

Are you looking at the same picture?

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.

It's not pretty that's for sure, but it's no more hideous or offensive than the ubiquitous turdburst/turdashell combo finishes which have set the bar for fugliness far as I'm concerned, they really make my eyes bleed!

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.

Ah! 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. 🤓
