I don't know anything about the price of guitars but they don't seem to that expensive -considering they appear to be a fine instrument ?

Or explore the Strat Chris plays in Let's Dance on TRTHAB DVD... that's a Squier, too.PAB wrote: And if you pay attention to some pictures, you'll see CR with Fender Squiers and also copies .
Well, I remember we've discussed it before.. I agree and disagree, either. The banjo CR plays on stage seems to me a modified vintage Fender but you got the banjo; so can I ask you to put a picture of it here? To be honest I'm a bit confused about Chris' banjos and I tell you all why:PAB wrote: Even the Banjo he use on stage is pretty cheap. I've got the same from England (+/-250€), it's a G. Houghton & son transformed to be played as a Tenor (4 strings).
