I like the blue Tele. The Jaguar Strat isn't bad either.

 

[micwalt]

I dig the blue tele too.

We’re gonna need some Motörhead stickers.

I can see where these are coming from; they let people scratch the Fenderish booteek guitar itch at much lower prices. Although given the price these must be MIA guitars, which is a big change from the last few years of oddball Fenders coming from Mexico or the pacific rim.

I’ll make fun of them in person at NAMM instead of on here

I like the LP looking telecaster in blue. The rest don't really do anything for me.

How does the Jazzmaster bridge compare with the Stratocaster bridge?

I had a stock Strat once & the bridge was totally useless. I blocked it, ala Clapton.

Does the Jazzmaster bridge create better sustain (more metal against wood)?

 

[Ignored Member]

Yeah.

Ok.

Whatever.

I think that’s a Fender version of the LP/Tele hybrids that Seymour Duncan did as one-offs for his famous friends. Seymour Duncan actually did a run of 50 a few years ago.

You should really check the NAMM thread.

You should really check the NAMM thread.

I am suspicious of threads that are not officially endorsed.

 

[Grant Harding]

Just the blue one for me too, but only with a Tele headstock.

 

[Knox in Box]

Not bad, but...

From left to right:

Needs a side jack

Needs normal humbuckers

To much going on for me, but it's cool for what it is

Still needs a side jack

I love it, I'll take mine in Ice blue. If they would have that. lpb will do though.

It is the official compendium.

 

[smurfco]

I like the one on the right

 

[Jbird]

Are the humbuckers wired in parallel?

The way the stock bridge works with the flat plate sliding up and down on some loosened screws is not really a great design.

The Mann Made bridges solve all those problems and are the best floating bridge made. (used on PRS guitars and Thorn).

 

[Deep Eddy]

The surf green Jazz Tele and the blue Tele are both hawt.

Doubt I would ever buy one, but they would be fun to try out.

Most of those are pretty weird. Not a good weird.

Jazzmaster vibrato is the greatest ever. FUQASTRAT
