"One Beautiful Guitar!!"
Verified Purchaser
zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
After seeing this guitar while touring the Fender Factory in Corona, I decided to add it to my collection. I was a little concerned with "just what would a laminated bamboo guitar be like?" This guitar is absolutely gorgeous!! The finish is perfect! The tortoise shell pickguard and binding really add to the beauty. The Fender description says lamboo neck. Mine came with a maple neck, which is fine. It plays and sounds just like a Tele should!Unfortunately, this guitar is so nice it will probably never leave the house.And of course, another GREAT deal from zZounds!!
