What so you mean? They all have one master volume and tone and 3-way. I had one a few years ago but had to sell it because of bad financial times. Wish I still us it, sounded and played sweet!

That thinline style in ash looks very sexy though.

That is different. The non blade 3 way switch ones I've seen in shops only have a volume knob.

Is it custom shop? Haven't seen a bound neck before either. Yours?

Wait you're right, my cab only had master volume. That one is probably been modified unless Fender added the tone pot feature later on.

My spidey sense is tingling... Not in a good way. Google Xaviere cabronita. I saw a few with that control layout. I'd ask to see if there is a sticker inside the body.

Is it just the photo, or is the body shape weird? As if the router slipped doing the bottom curve near the controls.

Looks to me like a parts build with a Fender Select neck. -- Darwin

Nothing about those build specs says "don't do it" to me... If it really is all that stuff, I'd be completely happy with that guitar...

The lack of communication bothers me, as does the "It's a USA Fender", if he did say that up front. It's actually better than a Fender, but that's not the point.
