If you're worried about the machine heads, those are standard on many of the 5 string models, presumably to cut down on weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it happens, I played one of these at a local music shop a couple of weeks ago, and didn't like it at all. Got a decent review in BGM though.

Bassassin Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Jack might have a point, though. It could be argued that Fender make a lot of bad copies of their own instruments. Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mathewsanchez Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I think five strings all look a bit wierd. Except maybe the stingray 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
