I'm really disappointed to tell you the truth. Hoping there is a second email with more to come. Saving the best stuff till last perhaps.

Few cool things, but nothing to get excited about I'm afraid. I'm sworn to secrecy so can't divulge any of it... but you're probably better off not knowing anyways TBH. UNLESS OF COURSE YOU BUNG ME A TENNER VIA PAYPAL, AND I'LL FORWARD OVER THE EMAIL.

If I may ask, how do you know this?

2014 is the 60th anniversary of the Strat. So probably loads of Strats. For a change.

There's some new stuff up on their website. Mainly CS and "Select" Strats and Teles. Nothing particularly interesting (to me, at least).

Oh, there's a pretty sonic blue Jazzmaster with matching headstock but it's CS so probably megabucks:

There are some Strats with iOS connectivity too. Yay.

("and it would be nice if it you could dumb down the instrument and remove anything that gives it a unique character and also could u make it not sound anything like a fender")

Haha. Was just about to post a picture of that but you summed it up far better than I was likely to.

I kinda like it. Minus that squier looking head stock, black hardware, hardtail strat bridge, strat knob, Tele switch, and pickups. Ok. I don't like it.
