Fender Pawn Shop series?

[AutoBat]

I wish Warmoth made 51 pickguards.

They'd be sold out pretty quickly if they limited production to 51 pickguards.

I'd probably wind up being customer 52 :icon_tongue:

The only other thing I can see coming out of this series is a less expensive version of that limed edition Telecaster Fender did a few years ago, with a mated Strat pickguard, pickups and layouts. I haven't been able to find a picture of it to show--maybe someone remembers this thing and can help.

You may have to be more specific, because there have been a large number of Tele/Strat hybrids. Fender have done Strats with regular Tele layouts, Thinline layouts, Tele Deluxe layouts, regular Strat layouts but a Tele bridge and pickup, then there's Teles with top-routed Strat configurations, rear-routed ones, set neck carved top Teles with Strat bridges, Tele Deluxes with Strat bridges and middle pickups, Thinlines with Strat bridges, middle pickups and a more Strat-like control layout.. you name it.

And if that's not enough for you, check out the Mayones Legend...

I'm willing to bet £10 at least three of you just recoiled in horror.

The Ibanez Jet King was meant to have a pawn shop vibe as well, and I think it's more convincing in that regard than Fender's offering.

You can all help yourself to Eastwood Guitars then.  Those Kays, Kents, all that stuff, pickups that don't work or sound good when they do, binding that has come off, necks beyond adjustment, tuners that don't tune, redundant switches, weird scale lengths.  Meh bigtime.

Well I think that's exactly the point of these guitars. You get the funkiness, the "curio value" of those weird old guitars, in a package that actually works.

I'm gonna go on record and say this is not Carvin's finest hour, aesthetically speaking, but it prob'ly plays pretty good - they always do anymore:
