Pretty, nice rosewood fingerboard for good action. Great pickups in the seymour duncans. IMO doesn't matter that it's MIM.

I'm sure it is a quality guitar. But a dummy pup? At that price? Fender is flooding the market with high priced MIM models. Not too long ago, one could buy MIM models on sale for well under a grand all the time. It is clear that Fender and Gibson are intent on running their prices up considerably.

This is an artist model to be exactly like the artist's guitar. Why would it have a middle pickup if Ritchie didnt want it?

All of the people who are b*tthurt at fenders prices need to move on. Get a Monoprice cables guitar or something.

Folks don't take the higher ground as there is none. This is a forum to openly discuss a deal.

Fender owns most big brands but such is business. I would save up and support a local luthier and there is nothing wrong about Monoprice (Think about a kid who has the talent but the parents can't even get him/her food). Monoprice gives me the opportunity to soup up those to a level where they can reach the intermediate status and I am not out of pocket much.

There is a facet to each side. None of us is wrong/right. As creative people we should embrace the gray a lot more than the black and white.

Pickup configurations should say S0S. But really, $80-$90 msrp pickups with this config shouldn't cost you this much for a guitar. Gig bag?? Come on. I have a deluxe roadhouse set up with Texas specials and a S-1 switch that provides sweet tone diversity, and got a gig bag w/it. Paid $400 and change. You can spend half this amount on one of the many Gretsch deals here and apply the rest to a sweet a$$ tube amp. This is a waste of cash.

The Roadhouses are very good. I think as far as artist models go, the Hynde Telecaster from Adorama a couple months ago was a much better deal. Nitro finish and a hard case, for less than this.
