New releases?

[neil___lien]

Evening everyone!

 

I see that Sire has announced their new models, and while quite often, new models or lines are made public at the NAMM shows every year, certain brands seem to add models to their catalogues "randomly". I wonder if any of you here have observed patterns in release dates? Maybe we could collectively come up with a calendar of releases by brand ? Like when can we expect new modeld/finishes of Squiers, Harley Bentons, Corts... to be released?

I have it on good authority from an industry insider that over the next 12 months fender plan to release another jazz, precision, strat and Tele

Hilarious, and extremely original too: got just one reply on Talkbass and it said the same as you.. 

 

Now if anyone would like to chime in with serious input? Like the Cort GB Short Scale was released around November 2025. But i seem to remember that the Harley Benton HB-50 appeared out of nowhere, mid-year, i think. ESP-LTD are unveiling their new line up sometime in January. Or was it just ESP?

 

Anyway, does anyone know if there is any logic to when brands announce new models, lines, finishes?

Sorry bud couldn't resist. Harley Benton teased some new models on their Instagram story. Most brands wait til the first big run of guitar shows these days instead of doing it Jan 1st. If there are certain brands you are interested in id recommended following their socials or checking sites like Andertons, cme etc for launch info 👍
