Good changes. I wonder if they'll use synthetics on MIC and Squier in the future.
I don't know. I wonder if there will be a rush on "pre-CITES" strats in the near future or if it will become another internet fallacy that will live on in Craigslist and TGP listings forever.

Both.
Ugh.

Pau Ferro is a good rosewood and a big operation like Fender should have the ventilation to work with it. And ebony isn't a downgrade either. But you can't fix stupid.

FWIW, the SG I bought from @telecaster911 has a baked maple fretboard and I love it. I was leery of the baked maple at first but I wouldn't hesitate to buy a guitar with a baked maple board now.

@telecaster911 has tremendous taste in guitars.
I don't really care about fretboard wood. I have maple, ebony, Brazilian rosewood, Indian rosewood, mystery brown asian wood, and phenolic resin fretboards. They all work fine. I think finding a more ecologically sound wood source is a good idea. There are plenty of alternatives, spanning from natural woods to engineered wood products and all the way to artificial composite materials.
