Hmm, some thoughts:

The first, mega expensive jag, is horrible. Is it a white trans-white headstock or did they borrow some ghostly white maple from Squier?
Jupiter blue looks cool, but comp stripes on a Jazzmaster is just wrong!
Lipstick strats look interesting. Would love to hear a sound demo..
DO LIKE that classic vibe strat.

The more mustangs the better.

some of those are very nice
other are very not nice

i think it's JPY : 100 = EUR but a little bit less or so, first one is way too pricey, so not for poor looneys only rich looneys.

I love that Squier inspires Fender these days.

Jupiter Blue is in the colour chart. Maybe there isn't a picture but the name is definitely there. I think the only picture i found was 100px x 50px or something.

+1

i have it on my duo, and it's grown on me enough to the point where i'll rock it for utility purposes. but i don't think i'd buy another. i'm more of a rosewood fan anyway.

Some of these are quite nice IMO. The comp stripes on the JM suck though...they suck on anything 'cept comp stangs IMO.

I have the same problem when it comes to finding a strat. I would get the white 50s CS strat but it has a fucking terrible white neck.
I would get the Black road worn strat but the wearing on the neck looks horrible and they don't offer black with rosewood, which means i would have to evilbay the maple and hunt down a rosewood

You are aware that the white 50's CV Strat has a amber neck right?

The white and sunburst models have an awesome tint on and awesome neck. The blue one, oddly, is just as glossy, but it's a clear gloss which looks wrong.

The first picture in this post, well, I do not like that color. I do hope to see a mustang in shell pink soon. I would also love to see a blue burst mustang too.
