Fender offsets, for me, are some of *those* guitars - the ones that sound great and look cool when other people play them.
Whenever I've picked one up I look awkward and sound trepidatious. It's one of life's crosses to bear

Was that your autocorrect judging Fender?
Block inlays - hmm. I like them, but only once the fingerboard has worn a little. And never on maple.
Ever.
Not keen on the blocks, the (old man) Fiesta red or the corned beef plate.
However, the prospect of either a blonde or black version is highly appealing - and Daphne Blue (assuming the corned beef isn't applied to this one) sounds amazing.
These all look cool, apart from those pickguards.

Pau Ferro is a bloody good choice. In many cases its indistinguishable from a dalbergia, 99% of guitar players would never know. .. yes it can be a bit paler and redder, but so can some rosewood.
In short - get over it

We all need to accept that the days of cheap rosewood are over - and that there are good alternatives out there. Pau Ferro is one.

Probably an unpopular view, but it took a couple of years for me to realise that the 'ebony' fingerboard on my Les Paul wasn't ebony at all, but Richlite.
It looks like ebony, plays like ebony, and the guitar sounds bloody great. I *should* be bothered but I'm not. Times change.
