I really love the new Jaguar with maple fretboard. Very tempting.

Fender gets it right, finally, with the necks. Reasonable sized frets, not pencil thin, and satin finish on the back. Welcome to the 21st century, Fender. It even appears Fender is doing more than just pressing the frets in, based on the one I had in my hand 2 weeks ago.

I'd love a SSS strat... but... I don't know what to do with a strat. Might get a 2H strat and put in some more meaty humbuckers. That might cure my Charvel craving.

I have everything i want. nothing in music stores interest me any except for some of the booteeq pedals i will check out occasionally.

but after finding my 78 Ibanez Artist a few months ago my itch has been scratched.

Care to elaborate?

Better dressed. Actually looked and felt like they were properly leveled and crowned.

Wow - finally sated - for a few whole months.

As opposed to which other Fender fretwork?

...not trying to be an a$$, just honestly curious.

Fender's fretwork, unless you are getting a CS piece, hasn't been that great. Plenty of sharp frets.

I always liked the Modern C on the American Standard. I may not like the new one it it's a lot fatter.

I really like the olive green color though.

For once they should demo a guitar with a typically poor player, wrong, level mismatched signal chain pedals and amp.

Lets be real here.

edit: reeking of beef jerky...

Wow!
A Tele!

Wow!
With treble bypass!
And compensated saddles!

That's not the same guitar as the American Pro...

Meh… been there done that!!

Just the other day I was looking around my music room, thinking that I don't really need anything more that a Squier CV Tele and a DRRI. I seriously can't believe that the only business strategy they have left is to launch another premium-premium-premium line to out-premium their premium-premium and just-plain-premium lines, which are almost exactly the same thing.

Fender is just about marketing these days IMO....and the whole "Custom Shop" thing always irked me...it was like: "Oh...if you want a GOOD Strat or Tele you need to buy one of these for $3500.00".

For that kind of money there are a lot of custom-built guitars out there....most notably builders like Tom Anderson and Suhr.

Trying to invent the wheel with a different tread pattern.. I think we all need to just be happy with what we have > The same thing over and over and over again!! >>
