What’s Coming Down the Pike at NAMM?

[Embenny]

Not a guitar, but Apogee just revealed the Symphony Desktop, which is the best price point they've ever produced for this number of inputs and outputs (10x14), along with some sort of new hybrid analogue/DSP mic preamp emulation. It's also super compact for its feature set.

I like it.

Was gassing for a Squier Super Sonic until I saw that they will be made in China. Darn it!!

I agree here. I do think the Chinese quality is pretty decent lately, but have a hard time supporting them as a country. Sometimes it's unavoidable, but where there's other options I'll always chose other. Although Indonesia has its own issues, it doesn't have the influence on the world China has/is looking to have.

Small observation: I'm glad the Offset Series was folded into the Player Series so that the Duo-Sonics*, Mustangs, & Lead models all hang out at the $599 range together. I hope that FMIC executive gets a hearty handshake and a pat on the back.

* And also because the Duo-Sonics weren't really offsets, dammit.

My hope now is that the reissues push the vintage supersonics back into reasonable pricing territory.

Super interested in this too! I have Quartet and love it but it’s time to upgrade!

[smalahove]

how do you find these?

seems pretty cool that one, i dont think anyones going to mind that particular guitar isnt vintage correct

It was literally on a Fender page previewing NAMM stuff. I just kinda stumbled onto it!

That green guitar looks killer. Seems like a Lead 2 or something?

Edit:
Yup. Just googled it:

Why is no one talking about the camo jacket????

I already pre-ordered.

Genuine hard lol thank you

[windmill]

Fender have got my number it seems.

After a quick look at the new lines there didnt seem to be anything jag related or of interest but...

the Squier Telemaster looks good.....

and that jazzmaster strat is an interesting idea .....

and.... there is a triple pickup, sunburst offset with trem but no guard that is swweeeeet.





ohh and i need a new jacket

[Danley]

Uke-an't be serious?

Is this real or Photoshop? I can't work out how I feel about it.

An interesting thing to note on these is the Jazzmaster decal with the fancy bits on the side. It's also on the Strat and Tele version as well, and the decal looks a bit haphazardly slapped on on those two. Seems to be a rare example of the offset being the main plan and the Strat / Tele being an afterthought!

Rant maybe only I will care about: So I got the email today from Guitar Center; pre-order a 'Fullerton Series Ukulele' for $200 . BTW, I might still do just that. But...

My first instinct was to think: "Oh. Fullerton Series- so they're US-made?" I then remembered that (unless they contracted G&L to do these,) Fender doesn't make guitars in Fullerton any more. Sure, Corona isn't as glamorous but moving across the county line was their choice. Still trying to find out where they *do* make these, still think they're cool, but it's sort of un-cool to use the name Fullerton, and imply these guitars (probably made in Indonesia/China, still not clear but definitely not Fullerton) have anything to do with that. Guess I'm just too dyed-in-wool OC We have enough problems with people thinking we're LA, let-alone mistaking us for China.

As far as 'regular' mode being Jazzmaster here- maybe Fender finally caught on the the Jazzmaster body is just much more attractive to anyone, except for guitar players who were introduced to Strats as a default. I get behind that

I am down for the black JMJ Mustang bass. Just wish it wasn't reliced.

I felt the same about the previous one
