the 64 has an ugly and mismatched configuration. especially those lazy pickup rings - yikes. i wish they'd just restore the hodad to its former glory, we have enough straight-up mosrite clones
i think the colours of the 59 spruce range are bad except the white/black, black/white and red/white. not sure why they don't just bring back the sparkle finishes of the 90s (see above) because they were incredible:
headstock truss rod adjustment is a big improvement across the board though (not sure when they started doing that but my 90s dc12 doesn't have it)
also, 12 string versions of both would be well received.

Seen those new Fender Elites? Looks like they are possibly replacing the American Deluxes. They have a little truss rod adjustment wheel on the heel end of the neck:
Good idea in theory, not a fan of the aesthetics of headstock adjustable truss rods but they are more practical. I'd like to think Fender are just trolling the inclined though

lol, i dig the look of a clear headstock but what an own goal for the aesthetic in trying to achieve it. they could at least do something to try and hide it, and as if truss rods weren't prone enough to getting clogged up and rusty...
the whole design is ugly anyway: decal'd pickups, block saddles and silly modern trem arm with no tip
The mosritestrosity basically looks like the copy Dillion made like 10 years ago, but worse.
