Elemental

These preceded the Noir Series mentioned here not too long ago. The limited edition Elemental Series are equally Japanese & supposedly Japanese exclusive but time will tell.

Despite being inspired by 'earth elements', the instruments are only available in black & white finishes. All instrumentss are humbucking & feature that signature pickguard which look, at best, misplaced. 

Not quite apparent in pictures but bodies are curved tops. Pickups are in-house Modern Modified models. You should have noticed the chrome hardware appointments by now. Also, modern 12" radius all round.

The only bass in this series - Jazz. Folks, do you look forward to humbucking tones when you buy a Fender? Also, those annoying (& ugly) pickguards; if they are not covering something, they shouldn't be there. Then again, sans pickguards, these look like the Modern & Aerodyne models.
