i remember being tempted by that one myself, even though i'd just bought mine! i wouldn't have bothered refinishing it, i'd have happily played it like that.

and i always wondered why fender would chose to round that headstock that way, only on these guitars. weird.

Pat.
ive heard the sound is abysmal. theres some vid on youtube by some company where they diss them too......



edit: just re-watching that, i think they sound alright. hardly sustain city as they said. beautiful nonetheless.

Cowbell's demo proves they sound mint.

I played Stewart's and had to stop playing it because I liked it so much.

Because it made my handsome cock grow etc

I've played two of them. A Lake Placide Blue one in a shop on Denmark Street (I think it's called Wunjo) and Stewart's. If I never own one I'll be very surprised. It's a shame the blue ones are relatively rare.
