Anyone heard/played a Fender ZF model?

[beaubrummels]

Just wondering if you guys have seen one of these, played one, or heard one. (I didn't find any YouTubes on it.) Thoughts?

Price puts it out of my reach, but if it were really 'that' good, and versatile, I might consider selling off some stuff.

They're putting Floyd Rose tremolos on them.

Like the Music Zoo write-up says, the Tele ZF is a unique to them, unavailable anywhere else, specially commissioned production run. Scarcity could eventually make the model collectable. For my own tastes, there is only one bridge design that I want to see on a Telecaster. It is not a Floyd Rose vibrato.

That's pretty cool. Needs a chopped bridge plate in front of the Floyd, though, to hang the pickup off of like normal.

3.7k? No thanks. Could build a Warmoth with the same specs for way less.

That's old news, though. Nothing from the Fender Custom Shop has ever been worth the original retail price.

And, just to pick nits, Warmoth cannot match those specs, since they don't finish in lacquer.

I agree that the guitar is not worth the money. And I am not arguing for the superiority of one finish over another. I just don't agree that you could get the exact same specs from Warmoth, in particular. Another parts supplier, sure, but not Warmoth. I'd suggest Musikraft, myself.

Yeah; I was just speaking generally, to make that kind of guitar. That CS stuff is overpriced is a given.

I like some of the stuff the zoo did with Jackson and Charvel, but this one isn't doing it for me.

I'd call that a 'rocking' hardtail!...

Not really, but that appeals to me.

I like John 5's Floyded Teles more. Skip to 6:53, 12:22.

Without that ****ing hideous open bridge pickup cavity to boot

^^ Ghetto chic?

It is a bit like those dudes who wear their pants halfway down their arse.

Don't know - Its a different look, but its fine by me. Andersons had the same mount as well as the GE Smith sig. The Jackson I'm having restored had the same type of thing, but with SSL-1's.
