While looking for a soprano Flea from some European Union seller (all them plastic fretboard and around 300€ + shippping) I came across a concert Flea with wooden fretboard at the same price and also in Europe. Although new, it must be some leftover product from an old batch because its serial number is 25700, which according to some serial number given in this forum by users, I estimate it was manufactured in 2015-2016... or so...
I like the sound of both but soprano seems to be the king of the party with the Flea's.
My doubt, do you see better to buy a recent manufactured item despite of going to plastic fretboard? I am concerned with the glue used for assembling and the pass of time affecting possible to it, in this case, about 6-7 years stored without use.
Or going for the soprano and the plastic fretboard as a safe bid?
What do you think?
thanks for your help!
