I like the Mahogany with its rounded edges. How much stupid amount of money are they gonna be asking for these?

That question scares me  :-\ :sad: :sad1:

I really like where Fender is going lately. They're extending the lines, giving more options, without straying too far.

My favorite:

"The body is a rosewood top and back sandwiched on a dark stained spruce middle, 9.5-inch neck radius, medium jumbo frets,‘52 Vintage bridgeand pickup set."
 
Good god, I have half a mind to go over there tomorrow and try to sneak in so I can see that in person.

A friend called me today and said he had a set I could have. We are going to go in the afternoon and evening.

Bamboo neck... (10/12) :icon_scratch:

Is Empress a type of wood? (5/12)

I rather like the Modern Thinline, but could probably build something similar from Warmoth for less...

 

[Cagey]

Is Empress a type of wood? (5/12)

Yup. It's more commonly known as paulownia. There's a bit of a write-up on it here and here.

I have to agree!
and I liked it that they are using some different woods, Bamboo, Empress ( I googled it, it is the same as Paulownia )
what I really like is the old 1880s bridge redwood, and the barn door pine...

The year I was lucky enough to go, it was on par with going to Disneyworld when I was 4.

That Nashville flood tele has me kinda freaked out

 

[rapfohl09]

Wow, just wow.

I agree with Max, Fender has a really bright future if they keep on going in this direction.

 

[bagman67]

They're nice enough, sure, but I' guess I've just become jaded by seeing the unique and beautiful guitars y'all have been making out of Warmoth parts.  I ain't all that impressed.

Good to see bamboo in something as mainstream as a Fender Telecaster! Apart from that, only the Browns Canyon Tele stood out for me, very attractive figuring in that body wood. I have to agree with Max that's it's good to see sensible, playable guitars from at least one of the Big Two.
