Oh my...

Either you surf, or you fight.

I'm seriously considering one of those myself. I don't like where they priced them though. You can get a used AV'65 for not much more and that is a bit more guitar. I love the 60s Lacquer and the originals are one of the best guitars for the dollar.

Looks like fender has created a whole group of them.

Looks like they're MIM.
Not necessarily a bad thing, but explains the lower price point.

Are these going to be nitro-finished? Edited: Answered my own question. Yes.

Really? Seems to me the price is very reasonable, opening up a category that has been missed for a long time. Right between AV's and MIM's. Once you put a bridge and AV'65 PU's, at the least, I can see how it would be hard to compete with a used AV.
Pretty colors, no stupid 'upgrades' for the most part... just nice. 9.5" radius is a good compromise for most players. (while personally I'm getting more and more partial to the 7.25" neck of my Jag.)

Red with painted headstock trips my trigger, no way I can pay though.

They are $400 more than they were originally, they originally had AV'65 pickups. They also raised the price, substantially, on the regular 60s Lacquer.

You can get used AVRIs for $1000-$1500 (color and patience dependent) and you can get AV'65 for $1400-$1500 all day. The AV'65 is a lot of guitar.

Block inlay without binding neck is quite strange in my opinion

I would agree, but it looks like these do have binding.

The local independent music store I patronize just received a 60th Anniversary '58 Jazzmaster. It is absolutely stunning.

And so is the price. $2,299. Yikes.

I like the way you emphasized YOU. Only Fender would sell you a guitar with a broken bridge and expect the customer to correct it for them ..for SIX DECADES!

Ha! yeah, it's kinda pricy. My favorite part is the stock Fender picture that every website has used, and the ugly piece of wood that the body was made from. that's a B grade chunk of ash. Certainly for a photo guitar.

The one at the NAMM show was beautiful, however.

I really like the burst and overall look of that one. Maybe it's the forestry rustic post and rail job I had for many years but I sort of like those dark patches in the grain. I guess you must have seen Fender's pine bodied guitars which featured wood knots at NAMM this year!

Oh I didn't know that. I think the price for new AVRI's is exaggerated anyway, they did bump everything up. Though, these new ones will too enter the used market.

Some of us look at a guitar, and see only potential Wink . I meant to emphasize mostly the PU's... and wonder about the vibrato assembly. Myself, I'd change the bridge to a Mastery, but The AVRI works fine IMHO, once like you said, it has been corrected.

And some of us look at your guitar and see only potentiometer! Big Grin

I like The Shining reference and the vintage white MIM Jazzmaster.
