hilm3 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 It's been in my cart for a week. Haven't clicked the button yet. At this particular moment, I am leaning red, at other times black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwalin Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 Wow, my 339 is not labeled pro and cost $50 more and doesn't have the block inlays that this one has.

indiekiduk Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 This looks like it is the ES-355 Block Ltd., been on sale in China for a while now 1year+?. MF might be importing themselves now to cut costs. Although the nut cover is different in the MF pic they added PRO.

I wouldn't even mind if they called it PRO too ;-) http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=4647537176 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinTheHood Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 PRO is for the Epiphone Probucker pickups. ...and the Alnico Classic Pro pickups. However, the 2011 ES-339 had ProBuckers but was not labled as "Pro" until 2012 when they switched to the Alnico Classic Pros. I'm still trying to figure that one out. I really hope MF get the Riviera II in cherry with the pearl scratch plate it looks amazing! I wouldn't even mind if they called it PRO too ;-) Dont hold your breath. They've been selling the Riviera II in Japan since 2009. Over here we call it a "Supernova". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyGibson Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 This is exactly what needed to be made. Outstanding. Now I have to decide if I want one of these more than my Sherri. If this had been around last year, I would have bought it instead. It's got it all: chrome, neck binding, vintage tuners, coil splits. It's loaded. With a three month wait, at least I have some time to think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinlander Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 If I would not already have my highly modded Korean Sheraton, I would probably get one. The bounded neck and the square inlays are nice improvement over the regular dot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
