1) They keep the materials costs proportionate for the Mexican and Asian product ranges.
2) They kept mass production possible when CITES first hit.
3) They reinforce the illusion that a rosewood fingerboard warrants a substantial upcharge (or positioning higher up the price range).
The American Professional Jazzmaster is only offered with a maple fingerboard. I suspect that this will remain the case for some time to come.

You are quite right too. I corrected that and posted something quite different - but obviosuly I didn't
What I mean by that is that they have features that people want but the price difference is disproportionate. I.e. They don't let you have a rosewood fretboard for a bit extra, you have to buy a model that's several times the price.
Not to mention you have to pay the premium for it being made in America even if you couldn't care less where is was made (which surely only Americans would care).
there will be a range of colours and grain patterns you get in Pau Ferro, and a range of colours and grain you get from Indian Rsoewood. There is a hell of a lot of cross over in the middle

Pau Ferro and not the Rosewood I’d believed it was. I hadn’t bothered to check and now I feel completely violated. The wood was very dark with a nice tight grain and the guitar sounded and felt wonderful, so how was I supposed to know it was so inferior??
