6th Batch Custom Colors

[BenoA]

Doug Rappoport.. he's very cool. Tasty guitarist.

Thanks for letting us know. I was also wondering who was playing. The background soundtrack rocks!

[Bionic]

Maybe this has already been answered in another thread - what band or guitarist is playing in the music for the video for batch 6?

Hopefully, if the all white SoCal sells out in a week, someone over at Charvel/Fender will decide to make more! I agree, if everyone loves white, it should be a standard color, like it was / is for Jackson.

[skorb]

those are all killer.

very cool color choices this time and the wildcard thing is cool too.

....and he's obviously a zoologist as well as a motorcycle cop if he can spot a Homo sapiens.

I thought he sold sunglasses?

That I had heard (and that's a lot of Teles - even if they were all worth $20K, that's 50 of them!).

John 5 sells the John 5 model Tele. If you like John 5 and you don't want to shell out for a John 5 sig model, you're probably not going to buy a regular Tele as your second choice. Same thing with the other guy. Fender don't need them to sell Tele's - Teles are selling fine without them.

Ah, but what the hell do I know - I'm an asshole.

Check out the vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPGjhuD2wkE

He paid $135,000 for his Broadcaster alone.

I agree with you that if you like John 5 or Jim Root you are NOT going to buy a standard Tele. Standard Teles are one thing, a Tele body with dual Dimarzios or EMGs are just a Tele body hotrodded like a Charvel would be.

And I agree that you are an asshole.

So... basically, the "wildcard" is just a different color on an existing model.

So you've got your regular production black SD1 and Socal...

Then you've got your "limited color" of each model...

Then you've got your "wildcard color" of one of the models...

Hey, I love the guys at C/J, but it seems like they ran out of steam coming up with a sales gimick on this one...

Charvel guy: "[sharp inhale] Dude.... let's paint one a different color and like call it the wildcard, man [exhale]... whoa..."

The whole quarterly batch thing is the sales gimmick - and a bloody good one at that.

However, maybe the worm has turned and it's now time for a change in marketing strategy. In my view they should have black, polar white and Ferrari red base colours of each model and then bring out limited edition metallic (Candy) or solid colours every once in a while.

Deep down, we all know that Telecasters are stupid, boring twangy guitars

[Grandturk]

Oh lawdy Jesus tha's funny!

[Flatpicker]

And a big mouth one as well.

But, I'm gonna be totally honest here. Jim Root playing a Telecaster is stupid. Deep down, we all know that Telecasters are stupid, boring twangy guitars for guys like Willie Nelson to plink away at while sing through their nose about their lawst dawg and their ex wife who stole their pick-up truck.

Oh no you didn't....
Gatton is going to claw his way out of the grave and get you for that.

Hiland will be driving, so it may take them awhile to get there.

[John.E.Fawkes]

socal looks awesome!
as for the other 2.. VERY dissapointed
kandy magenta is pretty cool, i like bright guitars, but i think they ruined it by making it trans.. whats the point on an alder body?
also, what is so "wild" about exactly the same guitar but with a trans paintjob..?!?!
"wildcard" more like the joker.
