Check these Strats out

[TG Peace]

I know that this is a Jackson/Charvel forum, but check these guitars out from Fender. I guess they are CS models.

Hey Word!! That one is kinda like the discontinued Tom Delonge Strat, minus the pickgaurd and that one has a single coil in the neck. I would love that guitar without the single coil!! I also, like the shredders above, the Red/Grey one with rosewood, man are they looking Wayne like. Jack.

I wonder if you can get them with jumbo frets???Something about those stock fender frets I cant stand.

That Grey one in the 2nd link is exactly what I had been hopeing for, I wonder if it is USA or Mexican? Jack.

Those are some awesome looking strats! I hope they become (or are) production models. Very old school Charvelish. I wonder what the necks feel like? [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

Usually Fender's don't have the thin fretwire unless it is a vintage reissue. Most humbucker models have larger fretwire, and contemporary guitars have a medium width wire.

I wondered why I didn't see any Model 1's from J/C in any of the pictures from NAMM. I know they were doing them again, I was going to be setting them up for NAMM. Now I know why.

Those Fenders look strangely familiar [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Re: Check these Strats out

Ever since I was about 13 (early 80's) I've LOVED Strats, but I also realised that NO-ONE makes a better Strat than Charvel.

I don't really like the way a Fender feels in my hands...just something about the neck...and I have little hope for these new Fenders. The way a guitar LOOKS is not even half the story. [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img]

Re: Check these Strats out

These were all marked with the Custom Shop logo on the back of the headstock, so I don't know if we'll see them as production models or not.
I played them and they are pretty darn cool. Not a Charvel feel, but that don't mean it was a bad feel at all.
