Fewer AVRI colours
Fender's website now shows less colours for JMs, there used to be 6 now there's only 4

But they've kept Jaguars the same

Re: Fewer AVRI colours
Looks like 5 to me.
I noted the disappearance of IBM in another thread but I don't remember which one. I'm glad I got mine when I did.

Re: Fewer AVRI colours
I've got this figured out.
Later, that same evening at Fender HQ ...
Joe: I just refreshed offsetguitars.com and Naturality and luau are totally confused! Awesome!
Bob: I'm adding shell pink for just a few minutes.
Joe: bwahahhaha

Re: Fewer AVRI colours
If anything, they need to add more variety with the models. It would be great, as part of a discussion from another thread, to have tort guards and other options for us. I mean, if there is only 5 colors to choose from, at least give some changes. I know this is redundant--just wishful thinking is all.

There are even fewer options for the '62 Tele.

Re: Fewer AVRI colours
That is true. But wasn't there a limited color selection for the original '62? I could be wrong on that one.flatfiver wrote: There are even fewer options for the '62 Tele.
As for the JM and Jag, Fender could easily introduce Fiesta Red, Sherwood Green, and even add something like tort/mint/white pickguard options to the following guitars. I don't think it would be difficult to offer both for sale. Just order your guitar through your local shop as usual. It would be so nice to get a Sherwood Green with red tort guard, matching headstock and... ooh, i'm drooling again.

Re: Fewer AVRI colours
Honestly, I'm quite surprised that they've been going with so many colors for this long.
I'm pretty sure that the Jazzmaster is far from being Fender's top-selling guitar. It makes sense for them to cut back on finish options from a financial standpoint.
It seems to me like most folks on here would rather build a "Parts-master" than buy an all new AVRI Jazzmaster, anyway.

Re: Fewer AVRI colours
Damn. The THREE colors I've wanted in an AVRI JM were - Fiesta Red (disc.), Sherwood Green (also disc.) and Ice Blue Metallic (NOW disc.)!!
Crap.
Crap.
