LOOK OUT! Fender is BACK in the driver's seat with these offerings!

http://www.fender.com/products/select#

These Fenders look better than Gibsons, IMO. They are definitely on par with them, in terms of class. Who needs neck binding? Talk about elegant ...
 
LoL, no comment on the guitars (as I'm not a huge fan of zebra bursts), but the site's main page looks like an ad for condoms! :rock:

Beautiful guitar. With I could have my choice of tops. I'm a tad picky about bookmatching and the seam.
 
fender has always been in the drive seat. those cats in the custom shop factory are the elite.

But ya... Funny you should ssay that as I have never played s Suhr or an Anderson that holds a candle to any of my Fenders tone wise.
 
Doesn't do it for me and I play a Suhr and a couple of Anderson's.

The HSS strat particularly looks all wrong to me- heavy flame with bent saddles and the top mounted jack.
Has a whiff of "neither fish nor foul" about it.
Particularly dislike tele's with wood mounted neck pickups and no guard.

IMHO of course.
 
love fenders, got 5 of them, but I cant help thinking fenders = solid colors, LPB, CAR, etc... If I want to go for something with a nice top for that cash I think I would be looking into a used anderson or Suhr S series first. Might be interested to see what they start going for used in a year or so though.. I do like that they are doing more stuff with a compound radius though.
 
Suhr and Anderson are the answer to Fender. You have that backwards. Fender has to answer to no one. Leo invented this shit and even though he sold his shares long ago, everyone has learned their craft from him and just added their touches to it. Fender is just adding one more flavor to their menu here...nothing more. The guitars look nice, but that video was so bad. WTF were they thinking. It was completely inane and moronic and I want that part of my life back...lol.

It's okay. Just think good, positive thoughts. Just because you didn't like the video, it doesn't mean that Fender was able to steal away a portion of your finite lifespan. It was just a moment in time.

:cry:

If Fender has "to answer to no one," as you put it, then why release versions of their guitars that mimic what Suhr puts out? And, to top it off, why call them Fender Selects.
 
From the video, "Select Instruments for Select Individuals". If that isn't targeted towards TGP elite then I don't know what is. Tacky :doh:

While that may be true for you, many other people have. :D
 
I think what makes suhrs and Andersons so good is you can configure them to what you want in addition to the high build quality
