Don't know if it's been mentioned, but the strat has a 5-way switch. Pretty cool.

It's also extremely annoying that the OP at HC -- the same guy who leaked the Squier Jag Bass info -- doesn't offer any insight into the source of this stuff. Perhaps it's a shill at Fender responsible for all of this crap, with the intent being to just throw some good-enough mockups together and ...

any word on when this will be out or how much?

The entire series is $450 MAP price and are supposed to be shipping the first week of September. They're all made in Mexico and don't include any bag. They are indeed legit and the cut sheets leaked are from dealer emails, as were the Squier Jazz ...

This is way too common with Gibsons and the main reason I no longer own any. Mahogany angled-head necks with no volute are just asking to be broken. Yes, you should have had it on a stand, but it wouldn't have happened with a properly-made guitar. I work in a music store and have seen many broken ...

Here are spec sheets on the American Specials:

Glossy finish and Texas Special pickups. They're thinning out the Highway 1 finish options (no honey blonde or midnight wine) and adding these as a step in-between.

Also coming out:

Here are some official pictures of the new Squiers:

I kinda like the first one, but not interested in the other two.

Well, I guess it's official Jorge just posted the picture below on HCFX. I guess they're going to be at NAMM. Yet another delay I plan on buying.

Here's a few more pictures I just found at DAG.

Wanted to resurrect this thread as I'm currently selling my Country Gent to fund the purchase of one. They're working on a version without the effects built in. Here's a picture of a prototype one in Shoreline Gold.

I use 10's on my 24" scale guitars and have had no problems, usually Fender Super 250's.

Unless you were getting that Trini-ish guitar just for looks, I'd probably steer clear. I've run across many Japanese guitars like that and never found one that was worth messing with. Those Greco's on the other hand, me wants.

I suppose you mean Thin Skin. Welcome.

Yes, it was discontinued. They're selling through the remaining stock.

I was just checking out Eastwood Guitars' website and came across the Gemini, which I had not seen before. It's a pretty wild body shape, but it's got a Jag/JM-style trem with a roller bridge and, most importantly, 24" scale. I guess it is a copy/reproduction of an old Wurlitzer guitar. Looks like ...

I had no idea Questlove was the drummer in NERD. The guitar player's using a Jag in this video:
