New Fender Pawnshop Models

[lazyfinger]

Just received the latest issue of Musician's Friend's catalog and these were featured in the front page. They're new models from Fender Pawn shop series. I know sometimes they get a bed rep because of their humble Squier origin and inflated prices, but these new ones look pretty unique.

They both look hot, but I'm digging the Jaguarillo more. I've got a strat in similar color and neck combo with SSS.

I think the sonic blue Jaguarillo looks really cool and I'm normally someone yelling "burn it with fire!" to all things Fender. I don't know what the quality on the pawnshop models is like, but I'd give it a whirl.

The one thing that does irk my pseudo-OCD is that the slant on the humbucker makes a couple strings miss a few of the pole pieces. I realize this would probably have no effect on the tone, but it is slightly annoying.

I think they're MIJ. If the quality is like the HWY 1 or American Special, I think the street price of below $800 (MF price) plus some discounts is worth it.

The Jaguarillo is seriously cool.

Check out the vids, especially the last one from Pro Guitar Shop, Andy got some skills.






I don't need another Fender, but I'm really liking the warm tones from 24 scale Jaguar-illo. This one has 9.5" radius, which works nicely for my fingers, can't stand the vintage 7.25".
