NF3 ... Cyclone

The PRS SE NF3 is now available at Davis GMC: $1,050. Absolutely liking the price, not being too far off the SE Silver Sky.

The Japanese Fender Cyclone is also available at Swee Lee: $1,599.

Service

Doing my part for a cause in education. Looking into some ukuleles that require due attention so that kids would get to play them once more. My stand - all instruments requiring attention should be attended to & not left to rot in some cupboards somewhere in school.

Debut @ SL

Folks, if you are interested in the Squier Debut Series Strat / Tele, you need not trawl Amazon for one. These are now available at Swee Lee, list price stated above.

Fernandes: No more

The Fernandes Co. Ltd (Toda City, Japan) has ceased operations WEF 11 July. It is currently undergoing bankruptcy procedures, handling debts up to USD2,7mil. Sale slump was attributed to a robust second hand market & intense competition. Monday blues fodder indeed.

Japanese + wenge

Another newbie in the Charvel lineup - the MJ DK24 HSH 2PT. It's Japanese.

The neck is wenge. I've tried a wenge neck (Ibanez) before & it's one of the smoothest so it hits home for all the shred dweebs. It's also a very comfy material so your hand won't feel lethargic if you stay at one end of the neck most of the time (all ye riff meisters). One more time, the price seems to be a deal breaker: USD2,199.

Tom D: Price

If you've been GASing for one, the Tom Delonge Starcaster is now available at Swee Lee: $1,899. I see this as rather steep for a non-American Fender made in the Squier facility. That's the price to pay for that signature.
