Question: is that a solid tort body, or just a thin veneer? Asking for a friend...

Tabs please....greetings from Brazil!
I'm waiting for the Deluxe Custom Shop Limited Deluxe American USA Elite Mexico headless model with the singlecut body, fanned frets, and flats.
I dunno. I'll wait for the Squier version and then brag about how much better it is and how much less it cost. Unless a Glarry shows up with a free practice amp for making beautiful low sounds. But only if the string pillow is less than 42mm.
I don't really know, what would a full solid body tort weigh? I guess it would be HEAVY!
Matching headstock, ebony board, tort neck binding, tort block inlays, black neck, clear coated black Bakelite guard, gloss black hardware, including bridge and pickup covers.
Far and away the question that most needs to be asked.
They just about always do in photos. Can you tell them apart in person?I have to admit, as much as I've never been a fan of tort pickguards, I actually like that tort body!
And I must be color blind in a way I never noticed before, but "mint" pickguards look white to me.
Is the body solid tort, a tort cap, or veneer? AA, AAA, AAAA, AAAAA? What's the pickup winding wire? NOS capacitors and pots? Reverse tuners? Clay dots or pearloid? Those A-string pole pieces had better damn well be raised. And God help them if they had the audacity to leave any CNC indexing holes under the pickguard (which should obviously be gold anodized aluminum on the tort model).
You know.................it almost looks like coccobolo burl.
But Fender would NEVER do that!

TB standard answer: if it only came as a fivestring i´d be all over it...
