RE: [SurfGuitar101] Re: Help me find a cheap Surf Guitar

Yeah, I recall Richard had one but sold it. Richard? However, we have talked
about these guitars before, search the archives...
I also think it sounds promising; it does have MIA Jaguar pickups, but oddly
enough the scale length is 24.75", which is generally associated with
Gibsons and not Fenders.
I'm not a huge fan of the Mustang body, but the racing stripe is cool! I do
think it's cool Fender is playing around with these classic designs and
trying "sort of new", "sort of old" ideas.
