only real difference between these instruments and the standard Fender
basses is the finish, which is satin as opposed to gloss. Fender say this
finish lets the body vibrate more freely and results in a more open tone.I played one when I was looking for a plain old precision to buy and it
seemed a perfectly decent instrument. In fact it wasn't until I looked at
the tag that I realised I wasn't playing a standard American precision.The only thing to bear in mind is that these basses are 34" scale which
might be a bit big for your son to start on.God bless,
