Just looked on Fender's webiste and the AO Jazzmaster and Jaguar are not among the American Original models. Hmm...

They're definitely still there, both on the UK and US website.
Silly Rabbit, don't you know scooped mids are for kids?

Weird. I'm in Canada and they've got all the Strats and Teles and that's it.

You need to look up the CO (Canadian Original) Offsets.

Hah.

He's not wrong though, the AO Jag and JM are absent from the Canadian site.

Weird.

Don't forget that next year would be time for the 4 year refresh/rebrand of the AO series. Models falling off the Fender site isn't surprising. This is what happened with Am Pro models when the Am Pro II introduction was around the corner.
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 really want someone to do a dark/edgy Happy Days reboot (a la Riverdale), as there is some deep sadness at the heart of that show.

Now there's an intriguing concept.
