Did I missed this or new?

Pilgrim · July 25, 2014, 04:42:42 AM

That's a new one to me. I like it!

Shorty with lipsticks - me likey. Though the fret dots on the treble side of the fretboard is bloody stoopid.

.... looks like a good host candidate for those loaded RD standard pickguards from greatdealz on ebay .... even better would be Dano lipsticks or Gibson G3 pups.

I've never seen anything like this before.

Me neither. I see it's using the Guild bridge, the old style but with steel saddles like the reissues. They must have not been included in the Guild sale.

I saw the CS version some years ago at the Messe. Or was it this year? For sale at Thomann.de for around 8000 euros

The interview posted by Lightyear is from the January 2013 NAMM show, and that's the CS version, so you probably saw it last year.

Terrible interviewer! He needed to STFU.

Chris P. · July 28, 2014, 02:02:36 AM

Then it was Messe 2013, which is a couple of months after the NAMM. I know Thomann has it for sale for quite a while.

What's not to like? Pickups, color, matching headstock, short scale, Guild bridge...it's cool!

Only references I can find to the production model are from Bax-shop in the Netherlands and Germany. Could this be an exclusive run for them? Would be nice if it were offered here.

That is pretty slick lookin'

Love that color- same one I chose for my BaCH NR refin.

Oh my, I'd take one! Who has a direct line to Fender?

We need to tweak them about offering them in the US. Makes a lot more sense then some of the Pawn Shop stuff they've come up with recently.

Pilgrim · July 29, 2014, 02:25:46 PM

IMO that's one of the more creative efforts Fender has come up with recently. I think it would sell.
