Fender apparently just doing whatever this year...

[qersty]

still waiting for fender to revive the tc90

[coldbrightsunlight]

Always thought those looked really cool

[dubkitty]

i actually quite like the Foil-o-caster, but as usual not $2200 worth. and who the hell puts pearl blocks into a maple fingerboard? i think that this is all a sinister plot to make me buy a Telecaster, which is one of the few electric guitars i don't get along with at all.

[Dandolin]

gold foils sound pretty friqqin' excello (if not magico ) in a tele, but you wouldn't need $2200 to roll your own to find out

[dubkitty]

exactly. i reckon i could but one together for $600 or less. and gold foils are on the Pickups I Want list.

[qersty]

Hey, pearl in maple is nice! they did it on some 70s jass bazzes and it looks good

It's like this really gaudy ibby i once had but not gaudy

I wanny try gold foils too but I get put-off by the magic thing cause I fall for that too often.. Also alot seem not to have the right shitty kind of magnet.

Anytime I try to open any link to Fender's site, it just takes me to their homepage. Also I can't seem to find anything on new Parallel Universe designs. Why is Fender hiding from me?

Latepass but if GTA = toronto, it's because you're not in the states and it wants to take you to fender canada.

(just go to the bottom of the homepage and click the button that says "international" and change it to US-the links should all work after that)

My adblocker breaks the Fender site, so that could be it, too.

[coldbrightsunlight]

ah could be both... but that's for the tip mcatano I will try this!

[MrNovember]

Yeah I'll give it a shot too

All the pawn shop and parallel universe stuff seems cool but it always missed the mark with like one detail imo.

I had a reverse Jaguar bass. I liked it, didn’t love it. Couldn’t put my finger on it.

Had a jag stang. Not necessarily PS or PU, but same thing. Wanted to love it more than I actually did.

[dubkitty]

the Jazz Tele was the only one that i think really worked. i might do one of those myself some day.

Yeah I agree, lots of them are SO CLOSE.

It occurred to me I might have been hijacking (sorry about that, PeterB), so I move this post over here. Also, NAMM is coming up this month on the 21st - 24th. It will be interesting to see what Fender will be doing with their short scale guitars.

The recent MIM Duo Sonic I encountered was great ...

This, however, is just making my GAS even worse. I think I've reached the bloated-and-on-the-verge-of-exploding(i.e. -reaching-for-the-credit-card) point.

I would like to know if the Sienna Sunburst models really look this vivid. Has anyone actually laid eyes on one in person? I ask because there are other pictures of them on the internet that make them look brown.
