Who's your major musical instrument store up there? They need to get with CME and Andertons (and others) and put in their share of the money to get the minimum order on a short run. On the other hand, it could be a side effect of the exchange rates making it financially nonviable to do so.

That looks fantastic. I was literally looking into getting mine refinished in Tahitian coral. I can get this, sell mine, and save a few hundred quid. Not out till March, but not in a rush.

So; I will continue to say this till my death or the heat-death of the Universe (whichever comes first). Squier should make matching style instruments. It drives collectors (like me with the SparkVI), it drives some bands who are focusing on their aesthetics, and it just looks cool on a shop wall.

Currently, we have a HSS Sonic Strat and a Bronco Bass in Tahitian Coral. So I'm fully down with their being a VI as well. :D

But what else would go with the VI as a similar-standard pairing? We already did the Jaguar with the Purple and Silver, we did the Strat and Tele with the Antigua.

Jazzmaster, or Mustang? Which is a cooler combo in Coral? My thinking is Jazzmaster.

Yeah true I assume L+M are aware but feel there's not enough demand - I just emailed them to inquire/inform that there is at some demand!

yeah true that's a great idea..I think since the VI is sorta jag with the switches it would be cool to have a jag that colour, but I think both the jazzmaster and mustang would look super cool as well..it's just a great colour!

Just seen this on the fender website also whilst I was deliberating whether to pick up the IBM Offset Telecaster! Charcoal Frost Metallic?

https://www.fender.com/en-GB/squier-ele ... 06569.html
Does anyone know if charcoal frost models actually ended up in anyone's hands? It's listed on the Fender US website, but it just has the "notify me when available" button. I clicked that a couple months ago and never received anything. I also can't find any on Reverb or eBay at all. There's always that one dummy that buys one of the limited edition Squiers and then tries to get double their money back on Reverb, but I can't find a single listing, either active or sold. It's weird that no one seems to have tried to sell one aftermarket, regardless of region.
