Fender announces new Standard line at $599

I still don't know what rolled fretboard edges are. Always seemed liked a marketing bullet point of some sort.

Nobody knows what they are. The emperor is naked!!

All I know is the term "rolled" means you press a round tool that can roll to compress a material. For example the cylinder shelf radius in the engines at my work is pressure rolled in one of the machines to strengthen that radius and avoid cracking.

On a fretboard I believe "rounded" would be a better word.

Cheap guitars have sharp fretboard edges, I hate that feeling. "Rolled" edges feel like an old guitar, worn-in. That's a real night and day difference.

Sire guitars look like they run a round over bit down both long edges of the fretboard and then sculpt the frets to match the radius.

It is more consistent and pronounced than a naturally worn in neck.

it means the edhes are a bit les sharp and more roundes, as if you played it for a long time. I once had two review basses in, with the same nut width. The rolled edge one, felt thinner. Like a bound neck can feel a bit wider sometimes. I like narrow necks so I lik those rolled edges.

I've gotten to play one. I'm reasonably impressed, it's a well built playable bass. My biggest complaint is that I don't think poplar is suited to a sunburst finish, it frankly looks cheap.  Solid colors are a much better choice.  I'll do a video at The House of Guitars when I get a chance.
