Not really seeing any show stoppers for my wallet in that list... relieved since Blurple emptied the gear fund

From what he says, it sounds like he doesn't know everything. Just what he was told and found on the internet. There's a chance there's more to come, I guess?

Yeah obviously I haven't had time to watch the vid, does he mention if the new Charvels are US or Mexi?

Don't think so. He just says they're doing more florescent colors.

EDIT: Forgot to mention the Ellefson bass... It MIGHT look like this.

I want to see this Elite strat and the super-mini 5153 could be neat.

Edit: HA! I recall bitching just this last year that fender should put the Music Man-style truss rod wheel thingy on a strat and they go and do it.

They're basically American Deluxe and Standars series Strats with new colors and the truss rod adjuster at the heel like a Music Man.

See the BCR NAMM Sneak Peeks thread for info about the NEW USA custom shop. Moser is onboard. That should tell you right there that the ship is being righted.

 

[OmegaSlayer]

Please bear with my stupidity.
BC Rich is now owned by SBMM, which is owned by Music Man, which is owned by Ernie Ball.

Am I right?

 

[Blood Tempest]

Praxis Musical owns SBMM and BC Rich. So they own the production of the import lines for BCR and Ernie Ball.
