Sell it and buy that Hello Kitty Fender.

Would never pay that much for a production guitar or really any guitar for the most part.
If it were a Hello Kitty Cremonese or Venetian cello from late 17th/early18th century, I might consider paying more than it's worth. :ROFLMAO:

It's cause people just want name brand crap and will overpay for it. Fender, Gibson, Ray Ban, Nike. It's pretty much corporate brainwashing. yEr n0t a rEEL bL00zEmaNe iF iT's n0t a giBsUn.

Spend 3-4k building the ultimate partscaster and you'll be lucky to get a thousand-1500 bucks for it five years later. Spend a thousand on a Fender and five years later and a whole bunch of hard use and it's worth 1500-2k. The industry is propped up mostly by people with money but no chops or guitar knowledge.

Yeah. A used American fender is a safe buy if you’re not sure a certain type of guitar works for you. They can always be resold without losing a ton.

I’ve never played a new one I’d consider at their current pricing. Pretty much all the higher end copies are a better value for around the same cost. American g&l’s are probably the best value on a used fender style guitar.

With the amount of HK merch these days, I’m sure there’s one coming. Authentically reproduced. Limited numbers.

I’ll go with a Sonic ESP myself. https://reverb.com/item/89442728-es...are&utm_campaign=listing&utm_content=89442728

This is right on the money and also why I haven't bought a brand new mid priced guitar since 2000 when they were blowing out the mirror image Hendrix strats. :LOL:

The new Luxe series Fender Strats have original locking Floyd rose trems, compound radius fret boards, stainless steel frets, in HSS with the contour heal like all the ultra-series bodies have and cool paint job with painted headstock. They are on sale now for $2200 bucks. I think that is a killer deal for a USA made guitar with those options. I wish Charvel had more USA made options in that price range and something that isn't a shitty color in my opinion.

For reals I'm not denying that...... the Fender Ultra Luxes are dope as hell.


Totally worth the money and pretty much a Charvel with the Fender logo.
 
The Ultra Noiseless pups are fucking amazing too on the Fender Ultra Luxes.


I mean and that Augmented D profile is insanely good. Probably the only nicer necks I've played would be a Fender JM Sig and the Fender JB Sig.
 
That "tremolo" on Fenders has always been pitiful. Tuning stability always ass unless you attempt 9 different things to keep it stable
Its like when Mesa Boogie came out with II's and III's... those amps were so far beyond what came before them....why go back??
 
I own an olive green USA Strat, but I often think I should have just bought a Charvel because my playing style is more suited towards heavy tones. And now that Charvel have the cool Fender headstock, it makes it even more appealing. Personally though, I think it's b.s. that Fender was able to prevent other makers from using the headstock.

I also use Fender noiseless single coils in some of my guitars. I don't hear what people complain about with them. You're still getting about 95% of the real tone, and without the horrible noise. They are good enough for me. If you use a lot of gain, it's just too annoying trying to play with the regular single coils.
