new Fenders

[spacenuke]

anyone checked out the new Fenders at NAMM? I'm looking at their NAMM page right now and drooling like crazy. The Highway 1 Showmaster really reminds me of the HM Strat, and you gotta check out the Strat-O-Sonic too!! OMG!!

oh yes! I'm ogling at the the dual humbucker Telecaster too!! I've loved the HH Tele ever since I saw the Squier one (although the quality of that wasn't great). I'm getting some serious GAS symptoms here!!

And check out the Acoustasonic Stratocaster. I hope it sounds better than the Stratacoustic.

Eh, i was intrigued to see what Fender would be doing, now that they bought jackson. Basically, they've done nothing but add a few nice finishes. As much as i love my strat, you just can't look to fender for innovation...

That said, i wouldn't say no to the showmaster, i've always liked that body design...

The more I look at that Celtic Esquire and Showmaster the more I want one. Especially if they were baritones.

I think those folks at Fender have the greatest talent for making ugly instruments. might be just me though....

If you trace it way way way back, Fender designed the JEM before anyone else. Technically there wouldn't be a JEM without Fender.

there wouldn't be a lot of guitars without Fender.
