Meteora bodies?
my daughter has fallen in love with the Meteora shape and wants me to build her a burgundy mist guitar.. I have been looking at rosser, they look good, but I would prefer a contoured heal, which I can get from Warmoth but they don't do Meteora. anybody know where I could source a Meteora with a contoured heal?

Re: Meteora bodies?
You're going to struggle to get a repro body of an unpopular 2018-2022 Fender though, I'd guess you'd need to get one (I recommend Mk. III aka Player Plus) and then resculpt the heel as you see fit, or get a luthier to do it.
Don't get me wrong I love mine, it's a classic oddball Fender that is gettable for about half the new RRP right now because it's not selling well. It might end up being collectable in years to come because it's great for a lot of reasons.
I'd also recommend moving/relocating the jack socket because where it is on the guitar is inconvenient for seated playing.

Re: Meteora bodies?
Well you could still add the contour yourself on a Rosser body. Thinking about getting a Thinline Jag Body from them.
I was very intrigued when I first saw their Meteora Bass Body (until I learned that they didn‘t build them again- until now!)
