$799, also in black and candy apple.

Not sure what I think yet.

I like it. I'd like it better with a rosewood board. I'd have to play it and hear how it sounds to be really sure though.

They should ditch the pickguard and make it a more affordable Squier. Pretty cool though. The pickup gives it a Mudfuzzesque touch.

Don't like the pickguard or the knobs but otherwise it's pretty cool. Not $800 cool though.

Give me a minimum of two pickups for $800 smackers.

Did the drums have to be so unbearably loud on the second demo there? Seems like a nice bass, but definitely some questionable decisions there with the pickguard and price.

the pickup is interesting but aesthetically that thing is straight up dude in a hawaiian shirt who puts hot sauce on everything.

I was under caffeinated when I posted, so I missed that that was MSRP. I'd expect street price to be lower.

Also new, there's a thinline (that is, semi-hollow) dual pickup Cabronita Tele for $999 MSRP.

Yeah, but since they're making 'em in white, you can swap it out.

That has a cool sound. It reminds me of a Rickenbacker. I think it looks neat too, but then again, I do put hot sauce on a lot fo stuff. :facepalm:

I wanted to get one of those affordable Cabronita guitars but I read that the bridge they installed on it doesn't line up with the pickups.
