They're not allowed to sell new Fender/Squier guitars to Australia (no overseas retailer is).
It's also not an unusual arrangement.

Makes sense, but last year Thomann happily sold me a couple of new Squiers from Germany (both FSR colours too).

Once you swap out that tort ( ), they'll look almost as good as my blue sparkle Jag, but at 1/3 the cost

You say that, but I was never in love with the silver sparkle Squier Jag I owned from the other year. Hard to explain but the the flakes were smaller compared to the Gretch Sparkle Jets I've owned. It didn't pop anywhere near as much as the jets and looked a bit cheap as a result.

I did also briefly own the recent Squier Paranormal Supersonic in blue sparkle. Again the flake didn't look quite as eye catching as the big flakes used in my jets, but it looked better than the silver sparkle Jag.

I'm still willing to take a punt on one of these blue sparkles jags though. If they also do a green sparkle then it's game over for me.

I haven't seen the newer Squier sparkle finishes in person, so can't really compare. I got the biggest flake possible for mine though, and it really pops. A green sparkle offset would be an instant buy for me. I'm still kicking myself for not buying one of those green sparkle fsr Affinity Strats from a few years ago.

Noooo! Please stop with these guitars I NEED!

Reminds me a lot of the "Shaguar"

Same. There is zero chance I could resist green sparkle!

Wonder if these will make it to Canada? If so then I've gotta have it!

Ive only seen them in pictures and videos, but I agree. I ALMOST bought one of the silver jags to spray candy blue over it, but the flake on the body I almost bought looked small and sparse, similar to one of the cheap Eden flake bodies I've bought in the past. The blue flake of the supersonic did look good from what I saw, and it looked to be blue over silver flake (which I think looks better than blue flake with a transparent clear coat).

Id have to see other sellers pictures or customer pics before I buy, but if this is the same blue flake as the supersonics, im in. This is 100% one of my dream guitars and already has me photshopping mockups of what i'd do to it lol.

Oh maaan...

Cool. But tort on that is so wrong.

Mint or even white would have been better.

Has Squier used anything other than tort for the last 3,4 years of jaguars and jazzmaster s?

My CV in Shell Pink came with a mint guard.

I wonder if Andertons will be getting them too...

My little girl just asked me for a blue sparkle guitar. Ummm….maybe if I get it she’ll let me borrow it

I almost caved on the silver sparkle Classic Vibe Jaguar, but somehow managed to hold off. I’m not sure I can hold off on this one! Blue sparkle with a matching headstock is just too perfect.
