Slightly nicer than the one I posted. I never noticed the extra row of 3 switches under the rollers. As if there weren't enough alraedy!!

So the vibrato tailpiece is unused? Interesting... those switches look really easy to hit.

john squire may be a great musician, but his aesthetic sense has always been a bit shit IMO.

the sunburst one was in Music Ground's front window for a while
there was someone on ebay selling a sunburst one that was supposedly one of Squire's customs maybe 8 months or so ago.
it was up like 5 different times. i remember the first time they were asking something like $16,000. last time i saw it the starting price was around $10,000.
must of been this Music Ground place trying to sell it.

That sounds like their MO. It took them about six goes to sell the white Jazzmaster that used to belong to one of the Hives.

I remember seeing that in the window too, but it was last March, so it must have sat there for a while. IIRC, they were looking around £5k for it...
