When in stock, I can get one of those for AU$3,199... VERY tempting, and in my favourite shade of #everythingblack too... Tho' bright cherry would be nice for maximum Slowhand at the Albert Hall points... I HATE Eric Clapton BTW... Black is more BB King anyway...
Maybe I'll just buy the black Coronet, forget about the Crestwood and put that money towards a black 335... So many guitars, so little time left to enjoy them...

Oh right, the satin one. Hmm, I’d missed that. That’s a chunk cheaper, true.
Dunno, I do think Fender have used the Mexico and Far East factories really well to provide bang for the buck. Maybe it’s in the new Gibson plan to fill the midrange gap? I’m not really saying the full fat Gibsons aren’t worth the money, just that they aren’t catering to that midrange market right now. Gibson SG Special: £1349 street. Epi SG Special: £349. That’s a big gap with nothing in it.
The Fender Custom Shop is certainly taking its fair share of the dentist market btw. Business is booming (pun intended).
