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.

PRO is for the Epiphone Probucker pickups.

I'm just a little jealousafied is all. I love my 339 but now I'm wanting both.

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.

...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.

Dont hold your breath. They've been selling the Riviera II in Japan since 2009. Over here we call it a "Supernova". [wink]

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.

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.
