Don't forget the minimal contouring and authentically reduced QC on neck pocket fit!

Will yours have a gap? Will it be slightly off-center? AV75, Authentically Inconsistent(TM).
And the half-inch-thick plastic finish!

(I have a '79 25th Anniversary Strat with a neck pocket gap so bad you can actually stash a pick in it. Weirdly, it's a great guitar.)

Again some ugly special guitar. :fp: Where's the left handed Jazzmasters or Jaguars? At least on Squier and no Kurt Cobain signature.

Shame on you Fender.

Really wish they'd have done the Stone Roses guy Jag-Strat - that guitar might be perfect, but I honestly like both of the trem-equipped guitars. The only thing about the Jag-Strat that's annoying is that little bit of extra pick guard on the bottom horn.

Make these things for like $500 and I'd be there, but won't be able to afford them otherwise. Surprised to see so much hate in here. While it's not exactly what I wanted it's not a Fabrige Strat or something insane either.

That reminds me, we haven't seen what the Custom Shop is planning for limited edition this year. I hope it will be a Faberge Jaguar.

That JM Tele is basically all I ever wanted. But ugly. 😕

I want a 70s Jazzmaster... B&B, black pickguard, northern ash body, 10.5 lbs...
Not sure if you're kidding or not, but I couldn't get my wallet out fast enough for B&B JMs & Jags.

I'd seriously love a B&B JM with vintage electronics and 6105 frets, and I really do like the black pickguards. (I have 2 late-'70s Strats with black pickguards; a JM would fit right in.)

Mostly I was joking about Fender in the 70s... the weight, the neck pocket, etc.

I may be flip flopping a little bit, but I dont really understand the need for a modern neck on a 60s offset reissue. Really un-enthused about these new mashup guitars and the general direction of Fender's product lines. There is no way I would spend 4-5k just to get vintage specs on a guitar.

The Jazz Tele... I have always wanted exactly that guitar and now they are doing it wrong. The proportions make it look like a home built leftover Partscaster. I have seen so many original designs by people on this board that are so much more beautiful than anything Fender has come up with in the last 5 years...

The trouble-maker tele is giving me the blues. Seriously, not the worst looking guitar - that's the one on the far right.
