Fender's Secret Weapon?.....

[toejam]

short scale strats?? that would be intersting...would that mean they'd finally have a sensible string tension and suddenly be as easy to play as any other normal guitar?

Fenders have the same tension as any Jackson or other guitar with 25.5" scale.

Yep, I think the Strats I've had are easily as slinky-slacky as anything else I've had. Maybe you've got too many springs on the trem.

this will turn out to be marketing bullshit and we'll all be disgusted by how lame it is.

Hmm...I wonder if it's anything related to the 'big news' that Guitar World is teasing about EVH in their next issue?

That's probably just the (old) news that VH might reunite with Roth for a Summer '07 tour, with Wolfy playing bass. Emphasis on "might".

But a Charvel Wolfgang? ...???

and Fender's already come up with set-neck strats and pretty sure neck-through as well.

as CS pieces of course.

The rumor I've heard is that they will announce Fender/EVH branded guitars & amps. I don't think there will be a Charvel Wolfie, I think the brand will be "EVH" with the logo like below, with Fender as the parent.



Maybe they'll also announce the Frankie replicas, which are supposedly going to be priced sky-high like the Blackies.

It really should be short-scale strats, though.

They need to bring out a Strat with a OFR on it!!

dont they already have strats with ofrs?

[strat2tele1]

Please no more EVH. They need to consider the American Floyd Rose Strat or American roland ready strat with ghost or rmc saddles.
