Let's Just Make Jack White CEO of Fender....

I didn't expect to like this guitar, but boy howdy I watched this demo....



I thought I hade all my bases covered until now.

I am genuinely surprised by how much I like about that based on the video and if I ever see one in a shop, I'd like to try it. Think I would definitely want a 5 way switch rather than the 3 way as that just seems a wasted opportunity for more sounds.

I'd also not seen that Hipshot drop D tuner before. That alone has made it worth watching this video and I need to investigate that further.

I personally have almost no need for 2 or 4 if all three pickups sound good.

Personally love positions 2 and 4 on my Strat but each to their own. Just seems a shame not to have the option by default.

Sort of depends on the configuration. My current strat-type guitar is HSH and I don't really care for the in-between settings but on a SSS they can be quite useful, IMO.

THE most important question....




... can we get the Triplecaster in the sparkle pink color of his wife's guitar?

No. Jack's first mission as CEO is cost cutting. Taking a cue from Henry Ford, you can get a guitar in any color, as long as it's white.

At least Fender is doing creative sig models again. I guess they learned their lesson when John Mayer told them to fuck off.

A lot of thought went into that guitar. I like it.

I really love the feature set and the sounds, the only thing I don't like aesthetic: I don't like the white powder-coating and the very pale neck. If it had regular chrome parts and a tinted maple neck it'd be perfect.
