i kinda like that voyager. dont see what's so cutting edge about a chopped up telemaster though.

Hmm the Samurai has the smell of a Katana in it's back end.

The black Voyager is fucking sexy.

Itâ€™s hard to design a new guitar shape that doesnâ€™t suck, and these two here not only donâ€™t suck at all, they may be the best looking new design we have seen in years.

Yes it is.

Want a Voyager. Must have voyager. Will build based on photo if I ever become independently wealthy.

I've considered buying a Squier Katana that pops up on ebay for $200 every once in a while. But then I sober up.

didn't even know there was a Squier vesion ... just faint memories of the 80's beastie Fender knocked out.

Lame, but at least they're trying something new.

Voyager looks like the perfect blend of Gibson and Fender. I love it.

It looks kinda too modern for me...i love Jaguars and Jazzmasters because they look modern in an old way....

Voyager is hot. I like the other one too, which surprises me

The Voyager reminds of all of those neat quirky Japanese guitars from the 60's, but with the cool ass shit like hidden pickups. It's like retro-modern.

I want one.

I actually really like the Voyager. I'd definitely play one.

Yeah, same. I can see the Samurai helmet in the design, but, it just doesn't work.

Here's the $200 one... no sell, and it's on round 2 of ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... AQ:US:1123

And here's a $450 one http://www.ebay.com/itm/1980s-Squier-Fe ... 744wt_1192

I dig the black one, thought it had piezo bridge at first... but hidden pup are awesome

Second one... a three-some with a BC Rich, Katana & Swinger

The lazy designers.. the samurai was made in photoshop by a bored executive splicing together the top of a Fender Performer and the arse of a Katana.. it's really quite ugly.

Hah, so it is. Did not notice (and now, cannot unsee).
