[EJJS]

So here are the first ones!

Nothing that really catches my eye yet but that noventa tele is really cool.

I hope they will have an MIM lineup with SS frets. Probably not but one can imagine.

Really like the 75th Anniversary series, which also come at a very good price.
I always wanted to pick up a Telecaster, this might be the good time to do it.

I am kinda into the Noventa Tele

Fucking love this line up. Fender really killing it this year with the matching headstocks. Looks like my years of complaining about lack of them on the internet finally paid off.

Shame that the Squiers only come with a black headstock. Still better than unpainted one, imo. I wonder how this pickup configuration sounds like. Would the second position (bridge/middle) sound a bit like a humbucker instead of the honky wonky tone that you normally get.

Looks good, albeit not many big launches like in 2020. They're definitely pushing more into the Suhr market by offering this new "Ultra Luxe" series:

Stainless steel frets are the notable addition to these, and the matching headstock is cool - it's something different, which is nice. The Ultra series seemed to be a big success for Fender, although these are like... $400-$500 more expensive than the Ultra series, so they're really starting to close in on those Suhr prices.

Never owned a tele but they seem really versatile and maybe even a bit overlooked as far as heavier tones go. They can sound really nice in metal context ie. Wintersun's first album.

Those Squiers are really nice looking! Roasted maple neck in a 450 dollar guitar! That's kinda crazy, atleast for a brand like Fender/Squier.

The new Squiers are legit.

Yep and SS frets as well. But you forgot the mandatory ss.org too expensive quip

 

[bostjan]

Is it just me or do the matching headstocks on some of the guitars look lighter than the bodies?

Also, (obligatory) no seven string option for the contemporary tele?! Pfft

I wish it had a neck pickup - and binding - and cost less

I am kind of surprised there are no baritones. I figured with the Squire Baritone Jazzmasters going for over a grand they might churn out a MIM model. I have the Cabronita and its awesome . I would like the JM also but no way in hell I am paying that for a squire.

 

[Zado]

Too much boner inducing stuff.

Well considering I own 50+ guitars, own my own business and work as an operations manager for a company, this thing ain't too expensive

Fender doing a Telecaster as their first production 7-string would be an even bigger blunder than releasing A Strat only in a Kiesel-tier vomit burst. Hell, I'd rather take a Jazzmaster over Telecaster. I know Telecaster was their first model but Strat is way more popular (country guitarists don't count) or at least iconic.

I was trying to make a joke. But in all seriousness, if Fender released a bonafide production seven string in pretty much any model (and at regular production prices), I'd be at least moderately interested.

oooooh me likey.

Yeah, I got your joke. But yeah, I wouldn't mind Fender doing a 7-string Tele and I'd definitely get one just to show that there's interest in 7-string models.

There is an IKEA joke somewhere between here and the Gojira Rhoads.
I like both .....
