Fender Pawn Shop Series

Re: Fender Pawn Shop Series

Just found some pics on t'Internet. I guess that I just WISH that I had never seen a Fender Mustang with a maple neck.

Re: Fender Pawn Shop Series

I don't see how you old guys did it. First, you're born into a black and white world and then, when you finally DO get to see color for the first time, everything is all dingy and slightly sepia toned.

Kinda like how kids being born now are gonna think that I grew up in a lower-res world than they did. Like everything was just slightly out of focus in the 80s.

They'll be right, of course.

Re: Fender Pawn Shop Series

the new Pawn Shop Series guitars draw inspiration from the eccentric and sometimes wildly innovative Fender creations of the mid-'60s and mid-’70s era that sometimes found their way to the outside world and into the more esoteric pages of Fender history. With this adventurous spirit in mind, Pawn Shop Series instruments emerge as all-new Fender guitars with a boldly creative alchemy of diverse Fender components. And while they are brand-new members of the Fender family crafted with thoroughly modern sound and quality, Pawn Shop Series instruments now take the stage with a remarkable new identity as "guitars that never were but should have been."

I think it's cute that Fender doesn't think we modify their guitars. :lmao: Im sure Sonic Youth have 20 mustangs with wide range pickups.. So these are modeled after CBS fenders, like mine. rad.

The Pawn Shop Mustang Special has a modified offset Mustang® body, ’60s “C”-shaped 24” short-scale maple neck, and dual Fender Enforcer™ humbucking pickups with ’70s-style covers and unique switching. Other features include a rosewood fretboard with modern 9.5” radius and medium jumbo frets, pickup toggle switch, three-way coil selector slide switch for each humbucking pickup (enabling 18 different tonal options), mint green pickguard, ’70s-style hard-tail Stratocaster® bridge, vintage-style tuners and strap buttons, and deluxe gig bag.

MODIFIED mustang body? check. only thing that kind of bothers me about fender is them selling $800 guitars with no case. Granted, these aren't custom shop guitars, but $800 is no small amount of money in the guitar world. these aren't $250 squiers you know...

I remember the first time I dropped a killer video card into my pc and saw a fully accelerated version of Quake. My jaw hit the floor.

I just remember my Mustang being Red. Not sure if it was candy apple or red river monthly, it was fraking red.

I think this is the current street price... wait til it hits ebay or few months pass, and it'll be around $700 range, which is what the HW1 strats cost. For $700, my HWY 1 was worth it, US made, and even cheaper if it's used.

So for a new Mustang made in Japan, not all that overpriced. Of course, purists will note the vintage mustang could be had for the same price, but I think this is better for modern application. And yes, back in the day, Mustang probably cost as much as a bottle of coke, but thanks to Cobain, it costs much as a strat now.

The classic series Mustang is around $900+, but this newly shaped Mustang got the HBs, more splitting options, and a hardtail, which for me would be better, as I never use the trem on my strat. What bugs me is no maple fretboard, which is a let down, although even the classic series has rosewood.

The '51 and '72 I don't really care for.

I want that humbucker-sized Wide-Range-Lookalike that comes in the Mustang thing. I don't even really care what it sounds like, it would just look great in one of my designs.

I have zero idea. Call Duncan and ask for Scott Miller. He'll know.

awesome, thanks!

edit: maybe they wont... if the duncan is designed to fit in a wide range route it wont because these are smaller. damn you fender. if all else fails, **** it, ill drill the pickup baseplate.
 
Re: Fender Pawn Shop Series

I really, really want to get the 'Stang, but I've never played one, so I can't say whether or not I'd get along with the short scale.

I ****ing want the '72 in surf green though
SO
****ING
BAAAAAAD
