Members gambit Posted March 29, 2011 Members Share Posted March 29, 2011 Isn't it offering what all the other new offsets are offering? Humbuckers and no trem? Yeah, but in a new design that doesn't {censored} all over the whole concept of the Jazzmaster/Jaguar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gunner Recall Posted March 29, 2011 Members Share Posted March 29, 2011 They've used the enforcer on a few other guitars (I know the John5 teles had them)...it's a high gain ceramic humbucker, nothing like a WRHB.They just slapped a wide-range style cover on it for looks. Pretty cool if it's real...can't gauge it on the photoshop, remember the blacktops were also photoshops when they first leaked.Nowadays Fender probably photoshops every new design that way they can hype them before it goes into production.

Members Akridosity Posted March 29, 2011 Members Share Posted March 29, 2011 They look pretty nice. What color is that blue called again? I saw some pretty sexy teles with that same finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RadioSilence Posted March 29, 2011 Members Share Posted March 29, 2011 What? Where did you see those? That sounds like something I would like i dunno, there were some japanese-made jazzmasters with f-holes that came out around the same time as the squier jazzmaster & jaguar. maybe thom is getting these mixed up. maybe not but i don't remember fender making any jazzcasters that weren't from the custom shop.

Members New Trail Posted March 29, 2011 Members Share Posted March 29, 2011 I actually like it. ... I like it too. Would like to see it in aged white with a maple neck. BTW the small print says "downsized pickup covers" whatever that means! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gambit Posted March 29, 2011 Members Share Posted March 29, 2011 I'm someone who doesn't care at all about the concept of certain guitars. I don't imagine I'm alone. Is a strat a strat if it has two humbuckers, a Les Paul bridge, different controls etc? At some point it ceases to be a strat. Same goes for the recent jag/jazzmasters.. Especially after losing that bridge design which is so uniquely jaguar/jazzmaster.. basically companies should stop trading on the name of an already well-known existing model. This applies to smashing pumpkins, guns 'n roses and many, many more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love those new Japanese Fenders. I started a thread about those Is it irreverent to make a jaguar semihollow with an f-hole and flattop with binding? Probably. But I dont GAF. It is irreverent IMO to put humbuckers on a strat or tele YMMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members PunkRocker33133 Posted March 30, 2011 Members Share Posted March 30, 2011 I really like it, and honestly, as much love as single coils get around here, I'd be ripping them out and putting humbuckers in anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChrisTUFFer Posted March 30, 2011 Members Share Posted March 30, 2011 Want, please make it in white.and whats wrong with the wide range reissues other than not being like the originals? I think they sound good for what they are. I get some pretty heavy tones out of mine :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
