dude, if Fender came to you and was like, "we'd like to make a HVM sig Mustang," I bet you wouldn't tell them to GTFO.
you know retards are exhausting right ? don't act like you know me you don't
ah, name-calling, that's cool. how dare I form an opinion based on information you've shared about yourself on this forum.
sorry, I just think the "sellout" thing is a bit tired. Why don't artists and musicians deserve to earn a decent living for what they do? they're probably not getting any money for this at all. They only benefit from the promotion and getting cool guitars.
hmmm, I dunno, I'm really not familiar enough with how these signature guitar deals go down. but I would think that simply the promotion is the main form of payment. essentially it's free advertising. there's even a plug for their new album on the page for the guitars.

I'm sure the bigger artist you are the more you get paid. But why the hell would Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page need promotion? They get paid when they sell their various sigs, believe it.
As does Steve Vai and Satch when they sell those boatloads of Ibanez guitars.
and EVH who goes from company to company, probably getting better deals each time.

New Jazzmasters is pretty big news around here because this is a forum about guitars.
Anything involving Sonic Youth is very a polarizing issue because this is a forum about guitars.
fair enough, i do see your point

I'd love to get a HVM sig mustang. These I'm not that crazy about, though I do think it was about time they jumped on the jazzblaster wagon. There is an appeal to them but Ill stick to my Serviceman Jazzblaster.
Would be interesting to know how much imput/say SY had in the design parts, esp the 'revoiced' jazzblaster pups.
Reading up on the J Mascis sig it seems he had a fair amount of imput.
Will people stop thinking they are anything but the same RI WRHBs please? In your entire experience as a Fender customer, does anything they have ever done lead you to expect they have really changed a pickup they have tons of backstock from from selling the Telecaster Deluxe/Thinline/Custom guitars?

Did they bung the weak jag/jm pups in the new mexican classic players? Nope, so maybe they are going to be different in these too.
Meh, I guess I'm more inclined to think they'll use the same shit that is the Factory. it's not like anyone is going to be able to hear it under all that self oscillation backwards fuzz
