Lw. Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 (edited) It's a great price if they look as good as the one in the pics but weren't these the ones with horrendously mis-matched woods underneath that showed through the translucent paint? I think I saw they had the 2-burst jazz on sale too which I did fancy! Edited March 22, 2023 by Lw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodinblack Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 I was tempted by the black one that was at thomman for £325 but that is no longer available. I looked at the white one but figured I needed to get rid of some before adding a new one, and when it comes down to it, buying another 4 string just means I will have something I don't play.

Schnozzalee Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 BC Rich and Yamaha use(d) it as a mahogany substitute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a versatile tonewood, and not terribly expensive so it's a win-win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibilities do exist, of course, among both Squier and Fender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
