I've noticed that some models are available in certain colors with a maple neck, and certain other colors with a rosewood (or I guess, now Pau Ferro) fretboard. They're bolt on guitars for God's sake. I could understand if they were set necks, but with a bolt on, you should be able to get any color offered in maple or rosewood, like American models offer. Who else thinks this is dumb?

I don't know, but it seems like they've been conservative with the color choices. I guess it has to do with what sells the most or what is the most profitable.

Each combination gets its own SKU.
The more you have, the more costly logistics become. (And the more stores will complain, and rightly so, about stocking requirements to be able to be an authorized dealer.)

There's the Fender Mod Shop, if available where you live, which gives you somewhat more combinations. At a premium.
