'56 Strat


'59 Strat


'65 Strat


'52 Tele


'58 Tele


'64 Tele


'65 Jag


'65 Jazzmaster


It seems like these are replacing a bunch of the current AVRI models, for example the '62 AVRI Jag and JM are no longer on Fender's website. Pricing seems very high, but supposedly they will be similar to the models they are replacing.

There are supposed to be more colour options in the future too, these are just the launch colours.

I'm most interested in the '65 JM, I like the look of the bound neck with dots. Hopefully they'll add some more of the custom colours like shell pink, seafoam green, daphne blue, etc. and matching headstocks.

Interrrrrresting. I've never seen a gold JM before. And the bridge is actually PLACED CORRECTLY. Yay!

That jazzmaster was beautiful! Those knobs look so good. Anyone know were I can order knobs like that?

I just bought some off ebay from guitar parts resource...they are listed as gibson knobs. They are pricey and pretty rare...not many stores carry them.

Wow! Thank you! Need them for my Jazzmaster!

Did yours fit fine on a Fender?

[Thomas2508]

Yeah...I actually put mine on a jazzmaster. Depending on how big the lugs are on your jazzmaster pots though...I'd say you're good.

[myrrh]

Nice. Thanks for the tip!

Not a Strat guy usually, but that Faded Sonic Blue '59 is nice lookin'!

[DallasLemonade]

are you fucking serious? i when i bought my jazzmaster like 4 months ago i thought "well, they haven't put any different colors out for a while now, so i guess i'll just go with black" and now WHAT THE FUCK FENDER?

[Exclaimed]

$2300 for a Jazzmaster? Fuck that shit, mang.

[bob the r0bot]

I just don't think Fender and Gibson understand how money works now.

"Captain, our stupid expensive vintage reissue isn't selling enough units; what do?"
"Add useless cosmetics and jack the price"
"Brillo"

[colin]

I wouldn't be surprised if they don't sell worth shit and we see Fender drop the prices in a year or so.

[CBA]

Would someone PLEEZ put some goddamn block inlays on the Jazzmaster?


GEEZUS.

Is that really Sonic Blue? Looks white to me. Must be some really outlandishly faded Sonic Blue?
