I bought the earlier USA version. It was a pricey guitar, but still a lot cheaper than the Custom Shop Cabronita. Mine is part of the Fender 60th Anniversary "Telebration" series.

But that was an $1800 guitar (needless to say I bargained that down) but it messes with my mind :freak: that now I could get a MIM version for almost 1/3 the cost. And since the MIMs still use TV Jones p'ups, I imagine their tone will get you most of the way there. I thought I was buying the less expensive version and the value would be bolstered by the higher end versions, but now that "sought after/association" thing is spun the other way.

 

But heck, I'd be looking for the scratch to grab the MIM version if I hadn't already done this one. There's no tone knob, so you've got to be able to find the EQ controls on your amp. ;)

No, they use "Fidelitrons", which according to a Fender rep in the UK are the same Filtertrons that come in Gretsch Electomatics.
