I hate it, but it's about time Fender makes a new Jaguar or Jazzmaster with blocks and binding. Too bad it's so ugly. I'm glad it's probably the only one.

Weird that it comes with 2 pickguards.....loaded with pups too? I wonder if they are truly modular of if one has to re-solder the knobs and switches.....seems stupid to have custom shop guitars with extra routing.

Yes, you would have to do some re-soldering when switching guards.

Blocks and binding, white button tuners, white witch hats FTW

Gold hardware, pearloid, buzz stop, and highly figured neck, $3000 price tag, FTFL.

Verdict: FAIL

I sort of like the color, though.

Seems to me like anybody who is going to pay for a masterbuilt fender custom yadda yadda guitar isn't going to want to solder the insides themselves....

Also going from 2 pups to 3 with the same knobs and switches is going to require some rethinking of what knob/switch does what. Maybe the buyer picks if they want 2 or 3 pups before they buy.

Good point.

+1 to everything in this post. Fuck that guitar.

Put that color on a Squier Super Sonic and I'd be all over it.

fucking gold control plates is the most retarded thing ever.

Except for the wanky flake headstock and what the fuck is going on with that finish.

The Finish is the only cool thing about that guitar. Fender is the most boring guitar company in the world.
