I like the Mercury one, and the Miami Blue kinda brought me back to the International Series vibe, and although I wouldn't get one straight up due to the 22 frets/headstock adjust/skunk stripe, I could see myself get ahold of a Mercury finished body through the Stratosphere or something, but that contoured heel? SOZ.

I’ve never been a fan of maple fretboards on offsets, but that Miami Blue with tinted maple made me an instant convert. That’s just unbelievably gorgeous.
To the guy who said that offsets seem to be more popular in this new reality - I feel that too. Seems Fender is really pushing them and the market is responding positively. Maybe it’s that bit of nostalgia that we all need in 2020?

So the "Dark Night" finish appears to be a reverse burst - i.e., dark center/light edges. I really like the looks of it and the Miami Blue. The other colors are nice too, although Mystic Seafoam is still my fave. FINALLY, Fender is giving us some attractive new colors.......seems like we were stuck with black, white, and boring shades of browns, etc. for too long in recent years.
I'm glad to have recently picked up my Mystic Seafoam AmPro JM at a killer closeout price before it became unavailable. I really love it and don't use or need more switching options. Like the first AmPro series, some will not like the new model but many will. However, I think the AmPro II series offers interesting new features not available before and hopefully will sell well. Despite the criticism Fender sometimes receives, I think they are giving us some great products and thankfully are remaining profitable. Many companies can't say that these days and will disappear because of it.

I do like the AmPro neck profile if they haven’t changed that, and I like that it’s routed for a rhythm circuit.

I'm going to have to work really, really hard to resist buying a Dark Night body if one appears on Stratosphere. I can already picture it with my Coronado neck and off-white pickups and knobs.

I'm intrigued by the new tremolo.
Back in those days, everyone knew that if you were talking about Destiny's Child, you were talking about Beyonce, LaTavia, LeToya, and Larry.

Hey look--they have finally moved the outer two fulcrum mounting screws to between the strings rather than directly under them.

Miami Blue is a really nice color that reminds me of Taos Turquoise.vistavision wrote: ↑Fri Sep 18, 2020 6:34 pmI found a few bigger shots of the JMs:

I was definitely into that jazzmaster, but the tele deluxe is Miami Blue is my jam. My road guitar forever was my MIM tele deluxe. I wonder if this will have wide range HBs instead of shawbuckers. I hope so.

The Dark Night color looks intriguing. I can’t tell if it’s a very dark blue or if it has a bit of burst to it. A good move with these colors IMO

Stick a Gulf logo and orange stripe on that Miami Blue and send it home with me!

It's an amazing colour - would love a Jaguar in that finish.

Is the Dark Night a burst or is it just the lighting making it look lighter around the edges?

The second picture of the strat posted earlier shows it's reverse burst:-
I'm super intrigued as to what's going to happen with the Jaguar, has it just been added to modshop to clear out their stock of parts? Will their be a American Professional II Jaguar? I'm not sure how well the AmPro Jaguar sold, I feel like I have seen a lot more Vintera in NGD posts
