Give it more of a '69 thinline pickguard and price it $329 or less and I'd be tempted myself.

Well, looks like you're going to get an opportunity to not own one (or something):

Yeah, but it's cool that Fender is giving it a go. I'm surprised.

Just curious Rob but how would you compare your gfs guitar to your avri?

Maybe people who like this thing want a higher quality alternative made in the US by the company who makes the models its based on.

lol i took the neck off it after 3 days and replaced it with the custom finished robOG mexican strat neck that i had been swapping back and forth on duo casters for 5 years.

nothing was wrong with playability i just think the headstock looks dumb as fuck.


pickups are great. i never changed them. it sits great, feels great, finish is awesome. its so good with the fender neck on it that I stopped fucking around making duo-casters and just kept the JT-100 the way it was for the last 4 years.



its the perfect guitar for someone with a neck laying around with nothing for it to go on.






ITS NOT ANYWHERE NEAR MY AVRI JAG. that guitar also did not cost me 2000 dollars though. it cost me 1100, anyone who drops 2000 on a guitar is mental. im sure most people on here think im mental for paying 1100 for a guitar.....but it wasn't my cash, it was all of your cash for my old guitars. so it was like 10 years worth of my money that went into that thing. fuck doing that again.

It's up on that website for 1369 Euros (£1025 or $1500). Would have thought it would be cheaper in the US though.

Edit: was referring to the US made Telemaster thing, not that acoustic.
