Members Nathan Kwok Posted April 29, 2005 Members Share Posted April 29, 2005 Yeah I saw that, in addition it also does not have a veneer in the back, so the belly contour isn't black (I think that looks ugly plus it hides the true look of the wood).

Members miked58 Posted April 29, 2005 Members Share Posted April 29, 2005 Is the top real maple? Veneer? Laminate? Photo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Brian Krashpad Posted April 30, 2005 Members Share Posted April 30, 2005 Meh. The maple top has nothing to do with Strats and is purely cosmetic. And a rosewood board? I don't think so. BK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jerry_picker Posted April 30, 2005 Members Share Posted April 30, 2005 I'll look for one of these in a couple years on Ebay for $150 or so, if I'm interested at the time. I know it's an aesthetic thing, but a flame top on a Strat kind of defeats the whole "plank" mojo, and Tex-Mex pups do little for me. So long as I can get ash-body Protones for under $175, $350 MIM Standards don't get me excited.http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7314595947 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members batotman Posted April 30, 2005 Author Members Share Posted April 30, 2005 You miss the point. $350 is what a new Standard costs. This one has tex mex pickups and a free gig bag. Damn you ingrates! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
