Great PR piece, but Fender seriously needs to spell check this stuff before it goes out.

Me, I just can't keep away from Jaguars, despite the fact that I know they're not for me. They really do look that great.

I think if they could make them in the 7 pound range consistently while keeping everything else about the same, I could bond with them a bit more.

I think you mean ultimate in this case. It and mustangs are what people first think of when they think of SS guitars
