Sorry if these were posted already, didn't see any thread about it.

are you saying the colors are Japanese colors?

or these guitars are for Japan?

These are for sale in the Japanese market and will probably never be officially imported to America, even though they're not made in Japan.

i imagine just trying to use up those fucking disgusting necks.

I doubt that's the reason. Student models are really popular in Japan. I don't know how this CV duo model in particular was received, but I'd doubt they'd introduce a whole new line of colors to get rid of some necks.

Also I don't really follow shortscales but I read these were received pretty favorably in America. I saw one at Best Buy and it was better than the 90's Duo by alot, in terms of feel.

I love the LPB.

the neck just needs a light tinting to make it work.

This photo doesn't look as pale



But then this photo looks very pale.

that top photo looks great.


I would just use the old brown shoe polish trick and things would be fine. I really wish we'd get a run of different colors in some classic vibe stuff. Mainly the teles. I wish they did the teles in cool colors like those.

i was just grasping at reasons they would introduce that awful tort in combination with those gorgeous colors, and still use the same anemic necks.

I just wonder why Fender wont ship even a small batch of those non-desert Duo's to see if people would buy them. It isn't like Daphne Blue is a "new" and uncommon colour.

Yes. This is quite bonerpants.

I'd hit it.

Japan gets everything cool.

If these were available several years ago I may never have bought my CP Jaguar. All I wanted was to get a little flatter radius fretboard & bigger frets for my musicmaster II-turned duosonic .

I still might try one, and swap the pickups from my old guitar which sounds incredible.

But... why on earth didn''t they tint these necks a little darker????? Does anyone believe that the pale necks look good?

A rosewood board might be nice, as well.

I would have bought one of these instead of my Affinity Duo-Sonic if they were available. I love the sound and feel of the CV's that we get, but that white color with the gold pickguard looks so gaudy and disgusting.

Maybe in a few paychecks I'll figure out a way to import one.

Dudes, I wasnt super excited about the color combo on the US version, but I got one for my kid. And it is amazing. I heard some people got shitty ones, but the one I got was perfect.

That red one is awesome. And so is that neck. It needs no tint.

fuck that noise I want a squier cyclone
