Cross pollination at Fender?

I love the zebra strat. It just needs a Starz bridge. I thought this might be Fender's long term game plan all along, while bringing Charvel's talent on board. I am looking foward to Fender Custom shop, master luthier Eldred's future works, (though this example is a Fleming). I would purchase this example over a relic any day.

I wonder if FMIC plan on any hybrid headstock logos featuring both the Charvel and Fender custom shop logo in the future. You never know what the money machine will dream up.

Eh, they both look okay. I wouldn't pay for one, but if you gave either to me, I'd play them.

Thats ugly. Fender will always be a Fender, thats why they bought Charvel / Jackson because they couldn't make a guitar that was appealing to the Rock market.

The company i work for does the same thing. When we cant get market share, we buy a company that is.

That Zebra Strat looks like something that you can get on ebay for $10

At least from the picture, it looks like a poor job of painting the strips

Anyway I think graphics look better with out a pickguard.

I wonder if JCMI requires fender to place a sticker on the back of the headstock
