Loving the RG550s.

Uninspiring for the most part aside from the cool blueburst/nat sides finishes.
IMO
Andy Timmons models need more deluxe options (only sig player I can relate to on their roster and they should exploit this) MIj models with different finishes, roasted maple, no pg flame tops etc.
Talmans have always been cool but again need more options; upscale thinline filtertron, bigsby, 12 stringer etc. Basically more Reverend less Aria
I always though their hollowbodies are Incredibly ugly. The 335s are way to heavy and tacky looking. Need to be more classic. The artcore are just ugly and uninspiring, should take more inspiration from recent Gretsch streamliners, Guild starfires and loars like this:

It sounds OK, but not quite stratty enough from this, I can't explain it but it's a little off - I guess we'll have to hear more demos. I'm really hoping the AZ series can do stratty quite well.
If the AZ series plays and sounds well, then it will really give Suhr a run for their money. I agree that the finishes aren't exciting, but I guess that can change if there is better up-take.
One things for sure, more competition can only be good for us consumers! I think Fender has had it too easy for a while, but with the AZ series and the Music Man Cutlass released last year, they really need to do better.

I can't wait to try this range.
Tom Quayle is also Dawson's Music new demo guy. His predecessor, Lee Wrathe, has gone over to Ibanez and was involved with the models.
