Members NinjaModder Posted August 6, 2010 Members Share Posted August 6, 2010 It's already been confirmed by multiple dealers/people who work at dealers online, as well as by Fender email replies. They're real and they're coming out in September - supposedly the ship date is September 1st. I'm dying to see some shots of the Sunburst Jazzy. Oh my, Oh my......That silver jag has my name on it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members New Trail Posted August 6, 2010 Members Share Posted August 6, 2010 Well, I talked to my local dealer and he really didn't know more that what has already been posted. He didn't know the country of origin. We'll just have to wait and see, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first three numbers tell you where it's from. 010 and 011 are MIA013 is MIM025 is MIJ/CIJI can't remember Korea off the top of my head right now. It might be 026 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members New Trail Posted August 6, 2010 Members Share Posted August 6, 2010 MIM Yeah, he said possibly Mexico or China, but he didn't know for sure. I'm in if it's Mexico, if made in China, not so sure, usually the necks on Chinese Fenders are too small for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in if it's Mexico, if made in China, not so sure, usually the necks on Chinese Fenders are too small for me. Doesn't the fact that it says "Fender" (not "Squier") on the headstock mean it's either MIA, CIJ or MIM? D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as electrics go, anything branded Fender (not Squier by Fender, and not including acoustics and "folk" instruments) would exclude Chinese-made guitars.

Members Grantus Posted August 6, 2010 Members Share Posted August 6, 2010 I could see myself with a Jaguar or a Jazzmaster, although I'm not sure sure about the Duncan-designed pickups on the JM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members StillRock Posted August 6, 2010 Members Share Posted August 6, 2010 I'll buy that for a dollar... Seriously, the Strat and Tele look interesting... I can't afford the Jim Root models, but they'd be cool to start, eventually replacing the duncan design humbuckers with EMGs. Only problem with the tele is the control lay out... the Root has a single volume in a better place for volume swells and the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the specs, the only one with Duncan-designed pickups is the Jazzmaster. The rest have Fender Hot Rod Vintage pups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember the Lite Ash teles and strats (as well as the Koa, etc.)? Those were MIK. :poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zooLemon Posted August 7, 2010 Members Share Posted August 7, 2010 Do want that tele. Hope the pickups are (A) 4-conductor and (B) don't suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sk8centilli Posted August 7, 2010 Members Share Posted August 7, 2010 They are very much legit. They're all $450 MAP price and will be shipping the first week of September. Unless Ensenada floods. :poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NHLfan2010 Posted August 7, 2010 Members Share Posted August 7, 2010 They're wound very differently, and the entire construction is different. A JM Pup is similar in construction to a Strat pickup, but with a wide, thin bobbin. P90 uses a bar magnet with screws. It's wound thinner and taller. Entirely different beasts. How so many confuse them is beyond me. And an entirely different kind of pickup. What is the difference in sound then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GilmourD Posted August 7, 2010 Members Share Posted August 7, 2010 What is the difference in sound then? Jazzmaster pickups aren't nearly as fat and snarly as a P90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members StillRock Posted August 7, 2010 Members Share Posted August 7, 2010 A custom control plate surely can't be that expensive. At $450, these things are a modder's dream. Actually, there's no control plate on the Root models. They have a back cavity (like a Super-Strat) and are drilled for 1 volume and a 3 pos switch... But yeah, I'd mod the fark out of that biocsch.

Members Edward Posted August 7, 2010 Members Share Posted August 7, 2010 Meh. I'm sure they'll sell by the bucketload, so props to Fender, but for me personally, nah. I do not lubs teh humbucker. For realz. The Strat, though, could have potential - if they did it with a maple board, a couple of HB sized p90s would drop in nicely....Guarantee there wont be a left handed version of ANY of those things! Which blows goats!Well, they're not really my thing, so it don't bother me much, but there have been plenty of models I'd have loved, Squier and Fender both, that they didn't do lefty. My next bass will be a non-Fender simply because I can't get a lefty version of the Fender I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read the specsheet details for the Strat, a Maple Board is an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brianeharmonjr Posted August 8, 2010 Members Share Posted August 8, 2010 If you read the specsheet details for the Strat, a Maple Board is an option. All colors for the Strat and Tele are available with maple or rosewood boards. The Jag and Jazzmaster are rosewood only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
