Not sure if real or a late April Fool's

But everything about it, especially the demo, just seems too awful to be real

No? It's still there. Just watched it.

3 is too many when it comes to humbuckers but too few when it comes to notes that you're going to play in a 2 minute demo.

Right on. The new Fender Fartocaster, with oh-no mojo. When I want to make the sound of drunk bumblebees stumbling home from the pub, mahogany is my jam.

I can't see it, but is it this monstrosity?

C'mon, Fender, Kramer perfected that look more than thirty years ago!

I'm not gonna lie, as a guy who loves blacktop Strats, HHH configurations, painted headstocks, and gold hardware, this thing excites me sexually. Plus for $700, it doesn't look half bad.

Granted, oddball guitars aren't everybodies thing, but for ke the only way it could be better is if it had a master volume and TBX controls.

Yes

And more power to you Christopher, if it rocks your world, $700 is pretty cheap admission!

Why the hate?

I have no problem with the guitar but the demo video, for a company with Fender’s resources is terrible.
Terrible tone and the most bland riff you could possibly play.

Wow, just watched it. That video was awful. I feel a Freudian slip coming on, but her vibrato was atrocious. Every demo video doesn't need to be Steve Vai or John Petrucci, but come on.

Is she somebody? Like maybe if one of us was into fuzzbox alt rock we would be all "Oh, that is Lorna Doone from Picnic With Larry! She totally rocks!!"

Yeah it was there this time, came up as unavailable when I had tried before.

The guitar looks pretty nice IMO, her playing didn't make me want a Strat any less than I already don't lol

Awful demo.

And IMO HSH would've been a better way to go - let the guitar have at least one position to give you Strat tone when you want it.

I do like the look of the black headstock though.

I think a matching black guard would look good on that as well.

They have a dozen other models for you if that's what you're looking for.
