Wow, i like the look of the strat. Coil tapped too. MIM i'm guessing?

When are they coming out?

As with the Jag, I hate that the rhythm circuit was dropped from the Jazz... but it looks killer.
The Tele looks swank, but I really don't dig the knobs on the Strat.

I'm really curious to hear what those pickups sound like.

I was hoping for a classy looking strat, tele and jazzmaster with binding and old Gibson style colours. These look like they should be part of the Squier Standard series.

I think I'd rock any one of those, including the Jag.

Strat is by far the nicest, the Jag is dreadful.

I was expecting something more classy as well, not something that looks like it was designed by someone who spends their recess on a blacktop

`Oh fuckin' fuck... all these are amazing...

I'm pretty much certain I'd buy the Jazzy. It's incredible !!!!!!!!!!! Hoping the pickups are to my liking.

Love the colour-way, the pickup configuration, the witches, the accessible truss rod, the basic selector and the inward built trem... makes sense... but perhaps not ideal aesthetically. God, Fender is awesome. Gibson can go suck it, fuck you hahaaa. Argh, I want !!!!! I'd happily own them all ... jizz town on your face.

Strat reminds me of robroe's Squier strat which I love. I reckon Fender has done some really good research here !!

Fender forever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where are these on Fender.com ? Is this a hoax. Don't make me slit my wrists !!!!!

btw... I'm calling you sods out.

Fender offers an affordable shortscale offset and you lot eyeroll all over it.

Really?

I say good on them. I'd have preferred a trem on it, but I give them an B+ for effort.

I noticed on the Jazzmaster they moved the tremolo plate closer like on the Classic Player Jazzmasters. I am curious out the JM neck pickup with the Humbucker bridge. Interesting combination. The Jaguar looks weird without the Tremolo and other chrome plates.

reverse control plate on tele...

Is fender actually paying attention to popular modifications?

Whoa. Can you do that? Like, are we talking conversion neck, 25.5", or vista 24"?
