So, apparently Fender are making a Telemaster now, the "American Standard" Offset Telecaster.

Looks like someone's been reading the internet over at Fender.
Some crazy doublecut Tele too???

I'd love to try one, but I don't see myself ever buying one

Looks cool but not very adventurous

It needs a humbucker and a jaguar vibrato system.

Marketing for big companies have been scanning the Internet. BAT made something for DOD. EQD made fhe Park fuzz. Fender mass producing the Telemaster finally. I've seen a few customs, but that's too much.
Hopefully they'll have different models. One with a bigger neck pup would be good.

They should've done even more with the dc tele. Different neck pickup and maybe a jm trem behind the tele bridge.

I was kind'a hoping for something more like a actual mix of the two body styles… this is rather boring...

throw an offset tremolo on there, and I'd be stoked.
I want them to do a propped marauder, though maybe I should just get a bilt...

i like the offset--clean and simple. i would have liked a different color combo. i would have preferred the dc tele with p90s.

jesus, pricey as shit. 1369 euro.... granted that includes VAT.
you can build that thing for like half of that.. a quick price on the body is $235 from warmoth, neck like $170 or so. and get way better pickups. and finish it in nitro so THE POLY DOESN'T SUCK OUT YOUR TONE (or whatever). solid nitro finish is SUPER forgiving and you can get the materials for under $100 from reranch. misc electronics/hardware for cheaps (except the tuners, which are pretty much "how pricey ya want, man?").
and then of course some printer decal paper so you can fake a fender logo or put a dick or whatever on the headstock.
