Why can’t it be a 60s lacquer? Fender is straight personally trolling me lately I swear.

Same. If the 60's Lacquer is released in a better color it will be pretty hard to pass up.

Re: CME Exclusive Lake Placid Blue Classic Player JM
Don’t blame everything on Fender. The guys at CME have a hand in the design of this stuff and Fender makes it for them...so they’re the one’s trolling you! I saw that Shelby guy on instagram hangin’ at Fender probably overseeing this project. He’s their in-house Jazzmaster freak.Mechanical Birds wrote: ↑Mon Mar 19, 2018 6:25 pmhttps://reverb.com/item/10944373-fender ... _BwE&pla=1

Looks cool though, great color! Adjusto-matic bridge and Pau Ferro neck is not for me. I just can’t get into that light Brown fretboard look...maybe I’ll eventually get used to it.

I cannot get behind how light the Pau Ferro fretboards are.

Damn matching headstocks. I don’t care about the tremolo placement or the Pau Ferro. But god be rid of matching headstocks...

Yeah, I can't stand Pau Ferro fretboards. The look, the feel. Yuck, no thanks. I won't buy a guitar that has that. I'd rather get a maple board and I don't even like maple.Johnny Alien wrote: ↑Mon Mar 19, 2018 6:52 pmI cannot get behind how light the Pau Ferro fretboards are.

Objectively speaking they should be doing this more, not less. It being a CP Jazzmaster ruins it for me. Why can we not get this in an AO or 60s Lacquer outline? Killin me fender goddamn.

Re: CME Exclusive Lake Placid Blue Classic Player JM
I have had very pale rosewood necks that look a million times better with a little fretboard oil.
In fact, some have looked worse than the one being discussed here.

Tuna-matic bridge, bullshit Mexican guitar with a slightly different paint job. Pass.

Re: CME Exclusive Lake Placid Blue Classic Player JM
It's not like they have extra bodies and parts that they need to use up, right? If they'd routed a bunch of CP bodies, and didn't want to scrap them...I guess it could make sense. But I wouldn't have thought that would happen as much nowadays for some reason.

Re: CME Exclusive Lake Placid Blue Classic Player JM
I will say this, I have played a few different fingerboard types, baked maple, black obeche, in addition to the usual suspects of maple, rosewood, and ebony. I guess I kind of "prefer" the rosewood but I basically don't care. They've all played great. I'd have no problem with pau ferro, or Micarta, or anything. Makes no difference to me.

Re: CME Exclusive Lake Placid Blue Classic Player JM
I agree with Larry in that I don't actually have a preference from a playing perspective. I am not sure it even makes a huge tonal difference. Because of that I buy totally on what I think looks good. That's why I can't get behind these new light boards. They look like really pale dry rosewood.
