MMMMMmmmmmmmBlackstar.......lusted after by me enough that I pseudo-cloned my Laredo as a tribute to it's Darthness.



(I, surprisingly, won't taint this thread with my Blackened "faker".....I'll patiently await "Modified Laredo" week)

Thanks. So it has the maple fretboard then. Now we know about two SPC 5ers that were made. Interesting.

Some Blackstars came with chrome toasters. I have only seen a few that way but they are out there.
