ITT: Fender is kicking ass

Sounds better than the Thinline Jaguar I tried out at GC. That neck looks nice especially with large headstock. I was hoping it would not have the Strat Jack.

Andy needs to demo the Starcaster and Coronado II next.

Nice, they also have proper tuners. Come to think of it, I can't think of a Japanese Fender that uses those shitty modern style ones? Or am I being wistful?

blocks and binding should be more of an option for sure, not too keen on the thought of a bound body. contours are what make strats so good

That'd be some fancy thin line with contours. There are plenty of b&b Japanese Strats, only problem is getting hold of one outside of there.

contours on the back, bound on the top

im willing to compromise if fender want to talk

I'm sure they could price it up for you with this new custom service

gonna sit tight, think i'm due my own signature model soon

That's actually based on a 1960s prototype, except the original had no f-holes and regular pickups.

Oooh, have you any more info/pics?

yeah but logically it's pretty much a foregone conclusion that somebody was gonna make a bound stratocaster so i think "based on" might be giving it more credence than it's worth

wasn't this in the Golden Years book? I must remember to take a look tonight and see

WOULD strat.

It's gorgeous... but seems a little middy for my tastes. Could just be the settings chosen.

I saw it in a different book, I think it appeared in several books.

here we go:


There is no other info, book is just a bunch of pictures.
