^That thread posted some new pics and it looks like there's some good stuff there.

 

There's a lot of anticipation for both (mainly the Squier though.)

I voted for Mascis, but at the same time... it all depends on the details of the Modern Series guitars. Is it MIJ or MIM? What is the radius on that Jaguar or Marauder?

 

I like that Tele, also. The Tele Plus plate is a nice touch and I could slap on a standard Tele Guard on it and have a cheap Tele Plus.

Those 2 Teles look SUHWEET!!!

Definitely the Mascis. I'd say there's a ~30% chance I'll get one.

Depends... what really interests me is why that modern player jazzmaster has a humbucker with 3 coils

Already got the Mascis on order, so I gotta vote for that. Several of the Modern Players have got me interested, but none have really flipped my lid. I'm more interested in the Modern Player basses than the guitars.

If it's a MIJ series, I'll look into buying a lake placid blue marauder. Probably won't purchase it though, considering those pickups are ridiculous. But there's still info to be revealed. The Jaguars (not jazzmasters, everyone) interested me for a little while but I got over it. It's just a naked toronado with awkward knob placement and an input jack on the body instead of on the side. I'll pass. Would be interesting to see with a bigsby though.

 

The tele bass also seemed interesting at first but I would have to play one before anything else. I can usually bond with the necks on most guitars but basses are completely different. Also, scary pickups are scary.

I like off-sets best. And I like Strats, too. Teles are OK, especially double humbuckers, but I like the others better.

And if I didn't already have the Jazz CP, I'd be ordering the Squier J. Mascis!
