I know, I read your thread on modding it with great interest. :thumb: I played one at a SA about a year ago, and I really, really liked it. The capri orange finish might be the tipping point for me, but I will probably wait for a holiday sale to come along before shelling out the cash.

Just got a squier baritone tele a few weeks back. If you are into down tuning at all pick one of these up asap. I literally can't stop playing it and the p90s sound awesome with the treble bleed I put in. If they are anything like the old jazzmaster baritones then these squier baritones will go for more money in a few years when they stop making them. Considering picking another up just to keep under the bed to flip in a couple of years. :idk:

More Parallel Universes.

Firemaster? Jazzbird? Needs a pickguard and different inlays, imo. Also not sold on those knob positions.

I kinda like the second LP tele. I would like the first one if it wasn't ridiculous 3 pickups and bigsby?! That would look great in that colour scheme just with 2 pickups and a hardtail setup.

I mean I guess they're going full-blown Black Beauty with it, it does seem close enough to the white one where they could/should offer both colors in both variations though.

Yeah! I can see why they've gone for the full on approach since they're kind of joke guitars. But all they need to do... is make the white one and paint it black instead. haha

But I think it would be unironically cool to have a fairly plain black/gold LP tele

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?

These links actually did work for me but I always have this problem with the Fender website usually!!!

Dear Fender, stop fucking around and just release an American Original Telecaster Deluxe w/ the CuNiFe wide ranges. Or a Jazzblaster with them, even better.

so far we've got a Firebird, a $2200 Tiesco, and two Les Paul Customs. and people think Gibson is out of ideas.
