New Squier "Sonic" series

[Mr.K]

Extremely tempted by the sunburst Mustang. One Toronado bridge later and it's a Duo-Sonic in a colour scheme I like for next to nothing.

The White Bronco bass is my favourite

I agree!

I'm glad to see a proper bright purple on some of those, often purple guitars are just some kind of boring deep blue with just a drop of red in the paint.

I wish the single coil Mustangs had rosewood or contrasting neck color. The maple always sooooo pale.

You could always "suntan" the neck - i.e., leave the maple neck exposed to direct bright sunlight. It really does work and generally only takes a few days. Doesn't result in a fake orangy tint either. I've done it several times on pale, untinted maple with very satisfactory results and it costs nothing!

I’m also extremely tempted by it. It would need a new pickguard as well, but whatever. That one-ply with the wrong bridge cutout would have to go.

These look great - I think I'll get either the white or coral bronco bass, been after one for a while and these new colours are super nice. Anyone got any idea when they might be released? (Apologies if it's already been mentioned and I missed it).

NAMM is in April so probably then. I'm guessing dealers have already been able to order them.

I quite like the blue and pink mustangs, but I must admit I prefer the contoured bodies on the current bullet line. I presume it’s cheaper not to contour them, so I must admit I was surprised to see slab bodies on the Fender Offset/Player mustang series and slabs on the Squier bullets.

i really want more of that purple colour. seriously, that on a jaguar with a black guard would look beasting.

Read elsewhere today that April 1, 2023 is planned release date.

I'm gonna put some wide range hb's in that sunburst squier duo- stang so quick. Can't wait to hack at it and make it SY style guitar # 3 at my dojo.

California Blue Mustang HH with SD Seth Lovers and a white pickguard.

I might try this on the neck of a squier tele I was thinking about purchasing. Did you have to flip it over or do anything special to not mess up the finish?

Great idea!
