Uses a laminated top and back made of fast growing Bamboo.

Hmm not a fan of how it looks, reminds me of laminated flooring. Maybe a black guard would look a bit better.
I do like the use of bamboo though.

$1400... no more than I'd expect for any other x-th Anniversiary USA Fender model, really.

Bamboo and hemp could save the world. ABout time they started making guitars out of Bamboo.

first act and gibson were already on it, but the problem is they don't sell well.

pfft, of course they dont. Amereica has no interest in saving itself.

I imagine it looks pretty much identical to the front, minus the pickguard and hardware

I'm a moron. I read the initial post as the front was laminate wood, and the back was bamboo. I thought they were different, in other words.

thanks..
i couldn't find any info on the Fender site for it..

C-shaped maple neck with a flatter 9.5â€� radius and 22 Medium Jumbo frets.

this makes me sad..
but i just prefer vintage radius and frets..
