Members THAT4301 Posted March 30, 2011 Members Share Posted March 30, 2011 It just seems to me they want to keep releasing guitars, without making anyone who wants the MIA/MIJ features but can't afford them change their mind.Which is stupid, because if you don't release an affordable guitar with the features people want, they'll buy Xaviere.Or if like me they live in the UK, they'll buy nothing and wish they could afford a blocktop jazzmaster.

Members Killing Nevada Posted March 30, 2011 Members Share Posted March 30, 2011 none of the guitars in my pawn shop look like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fractal Posted March 30, 2011 Members Share Posted March 30, 2011 Of all of them, the '51 looks the most appealing. However, the U shaped necks almost never work for me, so that's out. Phil, we'll just have to disagree about this. I've been waiting for Fender to put a Nocaster neck on an affordable guitar for years. Unfortunately, this may not be deep enough for me yet...

Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted March 30, 2011 Members Share Posted March 30, 2011 What's up with the funky bridges on all the latest offsets? Okay, so it's a "pawn shop special", but really guys... did you have to totally ruin it with the bridge? Really - what's up with the weird bridges lately? If you wanted to save money by not putting a Mustang bridge and vibrato on there, you had other options besides putting a Strat style hardtail bridge behind the pickguard cutout for a Duo Sonic / Mustang bridge. The classic Duo Sonic II bridge is a thing of beauty - stick some compensated saddles on that and go with what you know, not ... this. The rest of it I could deal with - even appreciate. A humbucker equipped Mustang with some "pawn shop approved" switching mods could be a cool thing; but with that bridge on there, all you're doing is forcing all the cool kids to go out and try to find a vintage or Vista series bridge to use as a replacement... that is, if the street price of the guitar isn't $800. For that price, they'll just go get a vintage Mustang or a slightly used but "real" CIJ Mustang... I actually love the strat hard-tail bridge and string thru design, and dont like the humbuckers I do not, however, like those trapezoidal bridges on the new modified jazzmasters. Yuck!

Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted March 30, 2011 Members Share Posted March 30, 2011 i am all about the binding and the F-holes on semi-hollows, but that guitar is IMO one of the ugliest monstrosities I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Loobs Posted March 30, 2011 Members Share Posted March 30, 2011 fffffffff These will also be coming out in the "Pawnshop Series": '51 is in Black or Butterscotch Blonde '72 is in 3-Tone Sunburst or Surf Green! Mustang Special is in Lake Placid Blue or Candy Apple Red Come on, that is clearly a photoshop job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members penelope twee Posted March 30, 2011 Members Share Posted March 30, 2011 I'd like one of those Mustangs but a Jagmaster would probably be sufficient really. I already have a 'vintage-correct' Jaguar and I wouldn't mind a less idiosyncratic shortscale/offset guitar with a 9.5" radius neck as an alternative.

Members speon Posted March 30, 2011 Members Share Posted March 30, 2011 The grass is always greener, but I wish Fender would re-release the late 70's model maple fretboard Mustangs, with a wider range of colors. The dual-bucker/blue model is interesting - too bad they didn't go with the standard 'stang bridge setup, or maybe the Toronado bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members letsgocoyote Posted March 30, 2011 Members Share Posted March 30, 2011 It looks like a cool guitar, but the fact that it is hardtail makes it a DUOSONIC not a mustang. so they fail at the name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
