First of all - hi everybody, this is my first post here!
Now, on to my question - I've been increasingly interested in Squiers lately, and narrowed my choices down to the "Standard" models. One concern I had was that their color choices seemed rather limited, until I stumbled upon THIS CHERRY BURST at Bestbuy.com of all places! What's odd, I haven't been able to find any information on it anywhere, including Fender's site, and even Best Buy's own description says "rosewood fingerboard", while the picture is clearly maple! Anyone have any info on this? If it's for real, is it available anywhere or is it discontinued maybe? This model is also available in "antique burst" at a couple of online dealers, anyone care to share experiences/opinions? One concern I have is the agathis body, it really puzzles me that Fender used it on a higher model than the Affinity made of alder.
Thanks in advance!
Mike
