My dealer sent me a sneak pic of one of those a year back, but they were only scheduled to come out right about now. I agree that the wooden knobs are a bit like the unfinished wooden handicraft toy your ecology-obsessed aunt gives you for your birthday when you were dying for something glaring in plastic from Mattel ... "Thanks, auntie, just what I wanted ...".
Description says "bass-size body", it doesn't look larger on the pics. Three pups, one of them upfront, is great news and I like the guitarish bridge. Does Sweetwater ship internationally?
