I'm really confused now.

I always believed that the Custom Shop '59 NOS was/is a 'better', more exclusive and more sought after bass than the AVRI '57.

I don't want to get into the semantics of 'better', suffice to say more expensive/better materials/better construction/altogether more valuable/sought after, etc.

Is this not so?

I ask because over here in the UK, you can buy one of the 2010 '59 NOS models (choc sunb/maple), for less than the AVRI '57: both brand new.

Furthermore, the only two options you have for a 'P' in the Custom Shop brochure/sheet is either a '55 or a '59, and the same for pick-ups.

No mention of the '57 Base model, (nor, for that matter, the '57 NOS, Fiesta Red/Maple, nor the '64 Closet Classic, Lake Placid Blue/Rosewood, both of which are on sale as new here in England).

Can someone (Fender or otherwise) please explain what's going on here?

I'm itching to get another 'P' now, but as I say, I'm now completely confused...!! :?
