Clean My Wounds Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 I am wondering what every one thinks to Fenders new range? Fender Blacktop SeriesI am really liking the look of the Jaguar and the Tele...I am interested in hearing peoples opinions of these guitars. Has anyone on here played either? Does any local music shop stock them? Ta,JaY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsby Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Are they basically just standard Fenders with high powered humbuckers in them or am I missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Easy Wishes Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Are they basically just standard Fenders with high powered humbuckers in them or am I missing something?They also have cool DIY design options and sticker templates at the back of the brochure which makes the guitar sound more punky.

Pierre Von Mondragon Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 A chicken in every pot, and a Fender for every household tovarisch, that is the 5 year plan.I just checked that they have the Sonic Blue with a maple board, it looks like the bastard muscly cousin of my Classic 50s beaut, so now I definitely really like it.Stickers can go anywhere except the guitar.

Soda Jerk Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 That turquoise/blue Strat is nice. I like the Fender Twin knobs on there. The Blacktop Jaguar looks slick too. Obviously you could make standard Fender guitars look like that, but I imagine these guitars will appeal to those who aren't too confident about sawing chunks out of their guitars and finger boards and messing about with a soldering iron. Fair one, really. Still, I'd want to chop out the pick ups they come with I imagine, so not really worth the money for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scandaldallas Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 I was lusting after them online the other day and agree they all look cool, so far I think I would favour the jazzmaster or jag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgomez Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 I don't need a new guitar, but if they had the Jazzmaster in the same silver colour as the Jaguar and it had a maple fretboard, that would be 1 sale. As it stands, no deal! I really like the look of the range in general too, love the look of the strats and teles too, but I'm already covered in the area they cover...

Bigsby Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Do think the '59 Gibson story is true?I do actually. Posted the link before I read the thread. Was disappointed as TDPRI is normally a very cool forum, the people questioning that guy were dicks. As a father myself I can say without question that I would give either of my sons a 59 Les Paul to play, especially if I had bought it for $500 20 years ago.

TelecasterSam Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 I like the look of the Tele..... although not keen on the knobs (would change them for regular Tele knurled knobs)Strange that they show a white Tele with RW board (my chosen colour).... but don't show it as a choice in the blurb...only.... Black, Silver & Red !!!what's that all about then ? LOLsexy lookin' buggars though !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
