What will these run at? My Yen to Euro converter is acting wonky and I can't seem to figure it out.

I use 9s on all my 24” guitars. No problems

They have the market cornered - MIJ hasn’t been a bargain for a while.
I’m happy they used the three-saddle bridge and not some mongrel.
Maybe they’ll do the Bass V these were originally built as soon

Agreed, but not because you’re boring! I think the other colors (as much as I love them on other guitars) make this already wacky design a little tacky.
I feel like the black one I could take serious (I actually really want one), and especially with a pickguard change.

Re: NEW Fender Swingers from Fender Japan!!!
I think that's great... wonderful to see Fender revisiting their older models with a quality reissue. I would consider one of these myself.

WOW! Looks mostly original except for the scale. Original Swingers had a smaller and not very popular 22.5" scale. These new ones are 24" scale and the change in scale is probably what makes them feasible to produce again. Would love to see the Bass V route under the pickguard!!

Re: NEW Fender Swingers from Fender Japan!!!
Does anyone have any experience with ordering from Fender Japan? I've always wanted one of these guys, but I'm worried it'll be too much trouble and too costly to get one. Wish Fender America would put these out, but they're too busy making jazzmasters and jaguars with humbuckers

Re: NEW Fender Swingers from Fender Japan!!!
Cool!!! Here's hoping for Maverick/Custom reissues! Is it weird I kind of want a Katana reissue?
