What’s Coming Down the Pike at NAMM?

Post by Unicorn Warrior » Wed Jan 01, 2020 1:35 pm

Anyone have any ideas of potential releases? I’ve got Christmas money burning a hole in my pocket but thinking I should wait.

Whatever happened to the Squier Super-sonic release that was proposed a while back?

Hopefully finally pricing and a release date for the Ernie Ball VP Jr. Tuner.

American Ultra just came out, that would be Fender's big thing, even though it's not a reveal.

Must be time for new colours for Deluxe and Professional lines... if not a full or partial revamp (we also just got Vintera, so probably not a revamp yet).

Caroline has been teasing the Megabyte, so I'm hoping for that.

Yeah. Hopefully not a zillion dollars.

The Offset Series is due for a re-vamp. It has disappeared from the US Fender site for now but we know there are new colors coming with the Mustang & Mustang Bass getting Firemist Gold and the Mustang 90 getting Burgundy Mist Metallic. New Duo-Sonic colors are a mystery so far.
I'm sure some Fender dealer in '64 looked at the new Duo-Sonic II and thought, "That's not a Duo-Sonic. That's a Mustang".

I'm guessing we're going to see the Maverick reissue/reboot that was teased a while back. Other than that, I have no guesses.

I'm still crossing my fingers for the rumored Squier Toronado reissues mentionned a while back, despite the lack of hints ever since...

Read about new colours in the Classic Vibe range a while back, so thought they might announce them? There was a link to them put up but the page had been taken down I’m sure. One of them was a shell pink Jag which would be good so here’s hoping.
Got an AO JM, but have an MIM Tele that I’m thinking of selling/trading in for either a JMJM or CV Jag.

One will def be that Maverick body with Jazzmastery looking routes in the body, I assume. Cool nonetheless.

There's a rumor of a signature Tom Morello Soul Power Strat making an appearance. Yawn. I hope Squier has some cool stuff to show off. Fender already told us to expect a lot of women sig models, which could be cool.
