SG FAN Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 At that price, I'm pretty sure they're Mexican. Oh well, I'd just as soon have a Fender made in Mexico by Mexicans as one made in California by Mexicans :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damian Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 I like the 3 PU Tele, the P-90 Jag, the 2 PU P-Bass....Of course these are MIM guitars...One must remember that some short cuts will have taken place.... Before buying, one might (if one cares) to verify what wood is used, is it ply, etc etc......Interestingly, IMHO, the prices reflect what it actually costs to make a guitar in modern facilities.........

This_Dying_Soul Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 The Jazz bass appeals to me since I've always felt the classic Jazz pickups were to thin sounding. I've always felt the Musicman Stingray basses were the best sounding basses and this looks similar in design. I've also always liked the Rickenbacker basses too. I do believe that Fender may have a lawsuit on their hands once Gibson see's they have a guitar called the Marauder. It may have been a long time since they produced that model, but there are still lots of us who remember the Gibson guitar of the same name. If Fender had to change the name of the Broadcaster to the Telecaster because Gretsch had a drum set of the same name already, then I can definately see Gibson fighting for this name...especially if there was any thought given to a reissue model.

Dub-T-123 Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 I wish I liked the look of that Jazzmaster cause it's pretty cheap but it's not doin much for me. That Tele with p90s on the other hand.. Hawt. I wanna check one out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff-7 Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 That jaguar bass is sex. This. That's a sexy bass. The two out of that stable that really appeal to me are defnitely the Jag (P90's? Yes please!) and the Marauder (koto body and pretty neat pup selection, love the looks as well). A 'Marauder'? Didn't another company use that name?? Yeah, guess we'll see if Gibson takes the bait on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingarmadillo Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 A 'Marauder'? Didn't another company use that name?? Maybe, but Fender had a Marauder guitar in the mid - 60's so I believe they'd have first call on the name. The other company didn't make theirs until the late-70s.

retrosurfer1959 Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I like the Jaguar in both the 6 with p90 and the bass - there are probably made in Mexico but thats fine, I usually support onLy US built guitars but California doesn't really doesn't count as part of the USA anymore, it's pretty much just become a failed social experiment supported by tax payers money in my mind so I would prefer a mexican build over a California build anytime.

daveinspain Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I like the Tele and I don't have one, could be an option in the future.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Searcy Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I don't know why anyone would buy a U.S. built Fender anymore. To me they have destroied their U.S. brand. I think I like the P-90 jag but the rest of this batch dosn't do much for me. I like the Pawn Shop collection better I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
This_Dying_Soul Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I think the US made Fender's are better than than ever. Certainly at the very least, better than when CBS owned the company. What I find funny though is how people have this belief that EVERY instrument of the same model is going to be identical since they are all CNC machined bodies and necks. The factor they always forget about is that no 2 trees are identical and therefore even 2 high end guitars built on CNC equipment will sound at least slightly different. I went through six supposedly identical guitars before I settled on my American Deluxe strat last weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Searcy Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I've owned a lot of Fenders over the years. A 72 Tele Custom (real, not a reissue) a early MIM Strat, an American 62 reissue P-Bass, a 1991 American Standard Tele, a Squire Fender Deluxe Active Jazz Bass V, a 1966 Fender Mustang and a Sguire Bullet strat. I've played a lot of the new Squires and I just can't see spending $1000 for a Tele when I can get a MIM one for $399 or a Squire for $199. It's not likely that I will ever pay for another American Fender. I just don't see the point. Some say the same thing about Gibson and Epiphone though. To each their own.
