For sure, the colour combo of seafood, gold, white, and dark brown makes no sense, but even Fender knows how to make a better Offset Strat than this.HarlowTheFish wrote: ↑Tue Jan 12, 2021 2:26 amMaybe it's the color combo messing with my head, but IMO despite all the complaining about it I see here, I think Suhr and Anderson got the offset Strat a bit more right than this.
Oh man I love the '66, this is such a killer axe. I couldn't get the MM5 I wanted (I think you gave me some pickup tips for it on another thread?) so I think I'm gonna have to build my own VI, and it's 100% getting a '66 body.mbene085 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 12, 2021 5:30 amFor sure, the colour combo of seafood, gold, white, and dark brown makes no sense, but even Fender knows how to make a better Offset Strat than this.
The Sixty-Six was routed HSH and could already fit three strat pickups as-is. Didn't have a ton of wasted real estate behind the bridge like the strat-ified JMs, either.
Their most recent output indicates that all decisions relating to colour and design are made by (a large) committee.mbene085 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 12, 2021 5:30 amFor sure, the colour combo of seafood, gold, white, and dark brown makes no sense, but even Fender knows how to make a better Offset Strat than this.HarlowTheFish wrote: ↑Tue Jan 12, 2021 2:26 amMaybe it's the color combo messing with my head, but IMO despite all the complaining about it I see here, I think Suhr and Anderson got the offset Strat a bit more right than this.
I'm not sure what this trend is either. I thought rosewood was becoming harder to source and that was why they started putting Pao Ferro on everything below MIA and now I've been seeing solid rosewood necks available on several models.blunderbuss wrote: ↑Mon Jan 11, 2021 6:27 pmI don’t dig the solid rosewood necks. They just feel gross in my hands.
