I quite liked that model for its colour, the natural wood and its funny pick-ups but it has undergone a drastic change. It is now brown instead of white and has lost its contour on the back side. It costs also 10€ more.

Looks like they're going for the Cabronita model even more. Now if they would just offer it without the reverse headstock I'd pounce on one!

The original doesn't have that contour and someone thought that pleasing the emulating crowd was better business than improving on products. It went the same way with those ugly "mint" green things they put on the SC-450 Plus throwing away tasteful colour matching to be closer to that Gibson nonsense adulating sheep want so much. I don't blame that "someone", he is probably right. That's the whole reason why old designs endure in spite of being technically superseded. That's why the Les Paul came back in the 1960s. Musicians had left it aside by 1961, preferring better instruments, but emulating kids wanted it.

The left handed version retains the old shape and colour but I refuse to learn the other way around That new brownish, cappuccino-like colour has a new name, by the way: Vintage White Translucent.

I really like the brown looks of my TE90 FLT. It's a beautyfull guitar and she is in now in competion to become my main guitar on stage. Just same days ago I've played a live show and I've carried two guitars with me: the TE70 and TE90.
