For a fraction of that price I'm sure you can have one of the Ric-knowledgeable luthiers convert a 4003 to a 4002.

I once owned a '79 Strat that was 10.2lbs! Not even a bass. Sounded like crap, btw.
A Fender P can be 8lbs. and still balance well, no need for extra weight when the strap button is over the 12th fret.

Is it possible we are looking at the only T-bird without neck dive?
BTW, some '77-'79 Fender J's weighed up to 13lbs.
Man up!

An unusual RED '96 4003 in "reverse trim" (chrome/white instead of the standard RED/BT). I love it.
There was another one that sold from Japan in May, it was a '98 and had a similar color bleed into the binding.

At least for some, I guess... Personally I can't refer to anything after 1980 as "vintage". Before 1940 it's "antique", after 1980 it's "used".
I know that in the 80's, a 20 year old guitar was "vintage". Now it just isn't. In 1982 Fender started producing a "1962 Vintage Reissue". They should have called them "Classic". I don't think now in 2013 they will make a "1993 Vintage Reissue".

Fender Basses / Re: Fender to finally make the Starcaster bass and reissue the Coronado?
« on: November 18, 2013, 12:42:41 PM »
The extra mass (center block, I'm guessing?) will prevent neck-dive and feedback, two of the most prominent features of the old Coro's.
Besides, 9 lbs. is ideal for me. That's what my Fenders and Rics weigh. My 1964 Gretsch 6070, a full hollowbody (no sustain block), also weighs 9 lbs.
