Well... there have, just occasionally, been one or two civil rights violations in the USA. Just sayin...

Don't things like the Race Relations Act & Sex Discrimination Act take precedence over that archaic "principle"? And those are 1970s pieces of legislation, there have been more since that cover stuff like disability. I doubt if this would stand up to a legal challenge.

That's illegal innit?

Fender changed from slab to laminate in 62/3 because Leo feared that differential expansion with slab boards might be a problem. But it wasn't, both seem to work equally well. Most early 60s copies are slab boards, Tokai is one of the few exceptions'.

I don't agree. I briefly owned a Springy in that colour & it was far more orange than it appears in the pics here. Fiesta Red was never my favourite colour anyway but FO is not the same, it's a lot closer to orange. The one I had wasn't subtle. It seems like it would sit on it's strand &...

No, one should never assume.

No they didn't. This is some sort of partscaster. Unless that's what you want (and I wouldn't...) walk briskly away.

That wasn't humour. Nothing remotely funny about the matter I mentioned, just desperately sad.

Some people on here became too tedious for words...

Depends if you know what you're looking for. I've bought online because I know what I'm looking for. I even bought my '83 62RI from the other side of The Pond, no problems at all. Caveat emptor.
