Re: New Fender Blacktop Series
Rocking models. Way to go Fender. I want to see how they look in other colors especially the Strat and Tele in black. It's about time they made a Tele-Gib - and they even went with a reversed control plate.
But really,
Who comes up with the names in FMIC? what's up with fascination with roads? am I missing something?

It's a shame that the knobs are a non-replaceable structural part of the guitar!

Re: New Fender Blacktop Series
you cant get knobs off, get a shoelace and get it underneath the knob, wrap underneath as many times as physically possible, gently lift up applying pressure as needed, take your time, voila, works a treat!

You seemed to have pissed the point of the running joke between me and I6. THEY'RE KNOBS! complaining about them is a moot point!

Covered humbuckers look more "right" to me on a Tele than a Strat. Can't figure out why.
That Tele in black has my name all over it.

Re: New Fender Blacktop Series
Do it! if the customer will say nothing to the big corporation, then how will the big corporation know what the customer wants?
Dang, I can't get over the Tele - would probably be better looking in silver or black finish like they are offering. I do have to focus on getting a "real" Tele first. They've done really well this time, I must admit.

You won't get any information yet. My hookup told me I had to wait until next month to hear about them, and that dude normally spills the beans.

That Jazzmaster is ****ing mine. I'm anxious to see what the sunburst will look like. I mean, I have an idea...but still. I can't wait to pick that bugger up and put a Custom in the bridge!!

A flat bladed screwdriver and a piece of cloth to prevent scratches. (Also works for fixing bent doors and wings on cars!)

Re: New Fender Blacktop Series
depends on which guitar and Angle though. and yes it is good for car doors too i will admit ( My uncle found that out, hes had more accidents in cars than he ever had school dinners )
I might email Fender Now though, simply because they will be manufacturing this things soon and if the consumer shouts up sooner then perhaps it may even the odds?

Re: New Fender Blacktop Series
I think it's going to be the Jazzmaster. I mean it's only logical: Why upgrade something like a squier to be what I want, when there is a guitar that is basically what I want? Plus I LOVE single coils in the neck. it's why I put the stock fender one back in my tele. I just like the versatility of it. When I compare this to squier, I do so because of the price range. I mean, $450 is pretty damn cheap for a Jazzmaster. i just hope they don't **** up the quality. The black one looks kind of boring to me, I can't wait to see what the burst with the black guard will be like. I absolutely looooove that it's a jazzmaster with a humbucker in the bridge!! I don't mean to start with this topic, but I feel obligated to. This is why Fender gets almost no bashing, and Gibson gets pretty much all of it. Fender has made a great move by offering these "Hot rodded" guitars at such a reasonable price. Try and see if gibson will ever go, "let's take a les paul studio, put some duncan designed (read:much lower cost) pickups in it, make it available in only a few finishes and call it the Les Paul Access." I honestly don't think it's going to happen. Don't get me wrong: I love Gibson guitars, I really do. I also understand that they are responsible for some of the greatest rock guitar sounds of all time. However, they have not shown the courtesy or gratitude towards me that Fender have. I have established a friendship with one of the consumer relations guys over at Fender, and he's always quick to answer questions and comment on products. I have never ever had this experience with Gibson, or almost any other company. Fender is doing most things right, they are coming up with products relevant to today's generation of musicians, instead of wasting time by focusing on some new technology that will *revolutionize* the electric guitar. That's not just a jab at Gibson, it's a jab at most manufacturers. I can't believe the price of these things! Granted, there's no bag or anything included, and the pickups and hardware may not be top-top shelf, but I'm sure I will be very pleasantly surprised when I finally receive my Blacktop Jazzmaster, pick it up, and plug it in.
