Update: Photos added.
Can anyone help Rob with this? Thanks!
"Do you know the history and the different versions of the Ultracure Guitar? (Black, standard model version and not the new VI). I just received a new Ultracure, but the back of the neck is maple colored and not black (fret board is still rosewood) and the "Cure" logo has changed to "Wish" era from the "Disintegration" era. The transition of the back of the neck to the base is the same maple to black coloring transition as the new VI...
How many versions have there been? Is the model I received brand new (I could not find any photos of it online- I got it from Guitar Center before Christmas and they were backordered until now - and the back does not match the picture online)? I wonder if the new standard version also has the new reinforced neck as the VI does?"
