Swinging return


This was last week's trending feed; Fender reissued the Swinger. This model here is how the original Swinger looked like, just a single neck pickup & that's how it's reissued.


A more sensible two-pickup option is also available. I'm more attracted to this olympic white finish with a matching pickup cover. 

These are limited runs, if your distributor stocks Fender Japan instruments, chances are, you might see it in store next year. Looks like the world has a fetish for ugly headstocks. This is the second hideous headstock to turn heads (forgive the pun), the first:


Ok, let's not judge the instrument's performance solely by the headstock outlines. Hopefully, these would make it here for nostalgia's sake.

I'm really hoping they do a Bronco re-issue. 😓
