MSRP's (as in the higher fake price, not the lower street price) $799 for black or sunburst on alder, $899 for white blonde on ash. That should be what, the $500 to $600 range?

Pickups are "Fidelitrons," oddly not using Gretsch Filtertron trade name when FMIC has Gretsch guitars in the roster.

Not just "Fidelitrons", but "Fideli’Tron™" pickups. Other than the incredibly stupid name, that's really hot.

Cool, I've always been intrigued by Cabronitas, but I've never had a chance to play one. I'll definitely pick one of these up when I see one in store.

I do wish they had a tone knob though.

This looks cool

Are these Mexi then?
They need to make these with the snakehead too.
Bet I'd like it with a pair of goldfoils ...

I had to explain to my girlfriend why this was good new…still didn't get it. We are fighting now. Sexy blonde and maple FTW.

There is a fixed tone control switchable from the volume knob. The single-pickup custom shop version had volume and tone knobs, but cost a few G's more

Available for Preorder:

They are all listed at $699 and it says the pickups are TV Jones Filtertrons.
It also says it comes with a hardshell case which is a nice bonus for the price range.

The fuck? Did they make the volume a push-pull?

Also, you could spend like three dollars and mod a tone knob in there yourself.

I must be in an episode of the twilight zone.

Did anyone of you ever play one? I'm really not that crazy about them. The filtertron is too much single coily than i expected. Normally these tend to sound thinner and more boring than normal teles. So i really don't care anymore.

if it's Mexican, I'd never pay that much for a MIM tele.

A cabronita is one of the first things on my GAS list, but absolutely wouldn't buy it without trying it first.

Also, I get weird looks from everybody when I mention its name. Cabrón is a spanish bad word with a lot of meanings; like badass, skilled, hard, abusive and much more.
