 |  Subject: closeup gen5? Wed Nov 07, 2012 8:31 am | |
| Was just looking on the closeup site, and saw a gen5 graphic that I wouldn't mind trying,
just would like to ask though if they are china made fingerboards? as I am sure I read a thread on here a little while ago saying they are/were?
Thanks in advance
Edit - mod feel free to move to quick questions |

| The smooth shape mold isn't however the hardcore looks a bit like a china deck. Never tried one before though. |

| ^they both are, there are two china shape decks.
I mean they were always made in china but gen 1-4 was their own mold, kind of disappointing they just gave up with that tbh. their mold was way nicer anyway : o |

| I like the look of the mellow, the fact they're china puts me off. |
