ezbass Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 At last Fender are embracing something outside the standard JJ or PJ concept [url="http://www.fender.com/en-GB/news/index.php/?display_article=725&EDID=RN50MSE-QF1EH-73Z5I-HIUNY-47YZ-v1"]http://www.fender.com/en-GB/news/index.php...I-HIUNY-47YZ-v1[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrismuzz Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Intriguing! I hope therer are many more varieties coming... Perhaps a P body, J neck, with a humbucker/J pickup combination Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamPodmore Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Those actually look quite good, my bands singer is after the Fender Blacktop Telecaster in Candy Apple Red. Liam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add a preamp to that P and you could have a 2xHH 'Ray/G&L L2000 killer on your hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinder Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Ooh, very interesting. Are they MIM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocco Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 They are indeed gringos, our guitarist has a blacktop jazz master with a humbucker in the bridge that is amazing. Not sure I like either of these though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepurpleblob Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) Oh look.... Fender has made a Stingray HH Appear to be available in the UK...

dc2009 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 if they do a fiver of that blacktop jazz i'm buying one, without a doubt in my mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Black P body, Maple Jazz neck, double-P. If they did one, I might have to stop modding for one of those... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gust0o Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I like the price, which is a novelty for Fender. Gives some additional options for those who don't mind MIM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if the equipment used to make USA Fenders a decade ago is now in full use in the MIM factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
