I can't ever remember seeing a Fender like this?

I can't recall ever seeing a 24 fret Fender? Squire guitars, yes, but fender?

Those guitars are brand new, just came out, but they look almost like the HM (Heavy Metal) Strat that Fender made in the late '80s.

I like 'em. I wonder if they'll be outrageously priced like the rest of Fenders lineup?

They've been a custom shop production model for years. They came in various carved top, flamed maple and so on versions.

The pickup array on the lighter colored one kinda reminds me of a RG model Ibanez. Only thing it'd missing is the pointy horns.

Very nice looking guitars, makes me want to get one to be just like my hero Greg Howe. Wish they were neck thru though.

Actually the custom shop does make them in neckthru as well as set neck...........

Are the production models all bolt on?
