Fender should do a "modern" or "vintage modified" reissue of them, since I think they'd look cool with an early 60's duo sonic/musicmaster neck, 2 strat or mustang style pickups, and a mustang style trem to match the pickguards. — Maybe a Univox does surf...

I've always heard that the Arrow was a CBS effort to use up old stock in a creative way. 'Course, that could just be legend. Does anyone know of documentation showing that Fender was noodling around with this design in the '50's? — More cowbell?? Nah...More Reverb!! Top

Mustang style pickguards and control panels were a ways off still, the knobs wouldn't have been original, and there's a hole above the pickguard next to the neck where a stock duo sonic pickguard screw would have gone it looks like. I don't know about you guys, but something is rotten in Denmark, and it isn't the cheese. — Maybe a Univox does surf... Top
