  • The Strat/Tele I really like but the Strat/Jag is just hideous.

    I think they’re great. Like the Pawn Shop Mash-ups, just a grand more expensive :D

    The orange thinline Tele with the TV Jones pickups looks hawt. The others need to be made hawt by placing them in a large bonfire.

  • I think all the guitars can be improved with EMG pickups and a Floyd Rose.

    I reckon the strat-shaped Tele is probably fantastic. All the good comfort stuff of a start with all the good hot single coil stuff from a Tele. 

    Though what I’d really like to see is a Tele with the contours and body edge radius of a strat. Maybe even humbuckers too. I think that’d be a great combination.

    I hear the sound of the wood being removed from the bottom of a barrel...

    On my screen they all seem to be extremely short-scale guitars.

    Not sure, but if you did it might explain it! It's probably full of tannin and other organic poisons. That's what gives whisky some of its flavour and hangover-inducing properties, so I suspect smoking it might have some effect!

    Or it might just be ordinary crack.

    They're all hideous and I love them, especially the first couple. I'm far happier to see them announcing these proper oddballs than further minor derivations of the usual two models.

    I like ‘em, kind of thing other makers do to be Fenderish so why not Fender. That Stratele is pretty much what I’d have made for me.

    They all remind me of Sid Phillips' butchered toys in Toy Story.

    Like that Apple Green colour.  Nearly bought one of the Limited Edition Classic Series Strats in that a couple of years ago.

    The Strat shaped Tele looks like a nice idea but if you going to do that then put a Strat style switch in.  The control layout with the selector switch too close to the volume is the worst thing about a Tele.
