Good news.. I .... still.... can't wait !! I think about these guitars on a daily basis right now.

I wish we had an ETA as I have money burning a hole in my pocket

Hold on until August, Chris, it'll be worth it even if they are delayed a bit. I'll definitely be getting a Jaguar I think.

Fiesta Red Miek?
I think i'll be reviewing my collection when these come out.

aye your right mike, I know patience is a virtue

I'll have to look at the photos of them, I'm torn between the Red, and the Green one...

I want a cheap mustang, but there are so many used guitars I can't imagine buying a new one ever again

Hankering for a green one myself... quite like the sonic blue Jazzmaster too.

Funny how squier offsets come in a variety of colours while the CPs and blacktops come in a pretty limited range of the same tried and tested hues.

thats part of the strategy for the brands and ranges. Fender/Suier are aiming them at different groups in a way. look at the colours fender are doing for the pawn shop range, different again.

Yeah, I was thinking that. If I wanted a new Fender Jazzmaster I could get:

1. A Classic Player in black or sunburst
2. A Blacktop in black or sunburst
3. An AVRI in black, sunburst or, wait for it, white

So the only way I can get a new one, obviously situation is a bit different for second hand, I would need to spend about £1500 to get one in anything other than black or sunburst.

With the new Squiers it looks like we'll be able to get sunburst, white, CAR and sonic blue. Got my eye on the latter...

Mike, I am surprised you would not consider a Jazzmaster to round out your collection. Though I could see you with another Jaguar to play live so you could leave your Vintage Jaguar at home.

All these guitars look cool. If the Jazzmasters are as good as the Squier J Mascis Jazzmasters, Squier will be #1 in my book.

I just moved the money for the Jag from my GAS fund to my savings account. I may as well let it get a little bit of interest while I "patiently" wait.

Mike had a Jazzmaster, but he didn't particularly like it. n00b.

Its quite funny, everyone was thinking on different forums about all the new Squiers that they would be a great basis for modding, but its turning out that most of them dont need any mods. Will these be the same?

Saw it in someone's quote, didn't bother to check back on the pic/facts. I hope its Fiesta, do we really need more CAR FFS?

Wonder who they're trying to target with the blacktop series? Certainly not my cup of tea.

Interesting, I've always wanted a JM but have been intimidated by the scale length. Will give all three of the new models an equal chance to impress me, though. I never got along with the more expensive Jags but enjoyed playing the Squier HH version.

torn between a jag or jazz. either one will be Olympic white
