That’s really cool, love the colour options. Buy it for your kids, quietly start using it instead of your Jag.
I have nothing to offer anybody, except my own confusion?

why don’t fender Japan do a full blown electric xii? They can do the bridge (80s strat xii and late 90s Venus xii) so just do it!
THIS. FOR YEARS. THIS.

I’ve been watching Fender Japan, the release of that jazz blaster model was the coolest. However, can’t help but notice that their inlays have been looking stark white lately.
Oh yes, about every release looks better than their last!

Funny enough it was yesterday that I somehow landed on the Australian Fender page and they have the (in my opinion even cooler) black matching headstock version of the Jazzblaster with a „limited amount“ tag on it and while I would absolutely love it… I think I‘d love the IBM Jag just a little more.
And the craftmanship is simply amazing! Love the neck of my Thinline Jag soooo much!

I feel like I'm in the minority but I am not a fan of the comp stripe, and normally I go nuts for them. For some reason I feel like it just doesn't fill enough space.

That stripe has never done anything for me either. I guess I just like solid colors.

Count me in as anti comp stripe. Unless, it happens to be a vintage mustang. Still would rather have a solid color mustang, but the vintage ones I can dig. They were a product of the time

The IBM Jag is gorgeous, and the IBM JM will be great once you swap a parchment guard onto it.

Thankfully there is no matching headstock Fiesta Read or Seafoam Green … I don’t feel like spending any more guitar money this year.

That white with blue stripes Jazzmaster is straight up Adidas Originals colour combo though. Thankfully I am not much of an adi fan these days.

I love the IBM Jaguar. IBM is a great colour for a Jag. It goes well with the chrome like no other colour does.
