Nicely spotted Dave hope I have not mislead anyone claiming the two were the same. If only it was a lefty I might be tempted.

Went in to Dawsons Reading today. It is indeed the Jap version they have for sale. Walked out in a right old huff.
I think I hate being indecisive.

Nope. I am an eternal optimist though!

The Jap one will probably be better quality - except for the pickups (but you were gonna go BKP anyway surely?

^ yeah, probably.  :lol:

we should all order 10 each then file a class action suit.

not really.

actually, i was in dawsons today (first time). was quite nice actually. needless to say, i forgot to look for the MIJ tele (i don't think they had one, though, but i could be wrong), they did seem to have the USA '52 reissue at £1100-odd, though.

Which Dawsons were you in?

I sent a mail query to them asking if it was seriously an American model for £500. I got a one liner back that said "It's the Japanese model". No thanks for spotting their mistake! Ungrateful little oiks!

^ the one in northern ireland. :)

i've emailed them before too- they were polite enough, but they seemed unable to answer a relatively simple question without getting the wrong end of the stick (seemed unable to realise i was looking at two different brands... :lol: ). i gave up, eventually. :)

From my experience, I'd rather have the Japanese one anyway! :D
