Fender camp's latest release. See anything new? It's actually that blue finish, based on some lost art of Japanese colour dyeing or something along those lines. Bottom line - nothing new, another Fender Strat & Tele. If you find this blue affair to die for then be informed that it's a limited edition, Japan exclusive listing for USD3.8K each. OK maybe that lipstick tube trio in the Strat is kinda appealing.

The necks are roasted maple as well apparently, below is copy from Japanese shop about the strat. Don't know why they try to use modern materials but still use vintage radius, fretsize and 21 frets...
