It's definitely an interesting take on Strats. And since these are for the masses, they won't be relic'ed, unlike Fender's CS creations.
The Fender CS policy of relicing has always baffled me. If you're willing to pay them a fuckton of money to build your dream guitar, why should you have to let them beat the shit out of it when they're done? It's like Pete Townshend is their secret boss - "Beautiful, lads, now smash that amp with it!"
I have to admit I'm enamored with that hideous metallic sunburst finish. If the Jaguars came with that finish I probably would have beaten up my credit card by now.
