More 75th

More Fender 75th Anniversary goodness from Japan, this finish is bona fide attraction. The burst effect was done on the pickguard as well as the headstock. By the way, the Tele feature a 4-way selector in case you're interested. Currently offered only as an online exclusive for the Japanese market. Bummer.

Marr Special

As long as Johnny Marr is still in the Fender camp, we won't stop seeing new iterations of his Fender Jaguar. This time, he has opted for three single coils, lipstick tube style & the pickup selector is a 4-way affair. We know this won't list for cheap, the current exchange rate / economy will compound the price quite substantially when / if it's available here. To think that Marr is an enduring character from the 1980s & Fender is still bleeding his personality to sell guitars shows how a touch of throwback today can still propel instrument sales. 1980s... some of today's guitar geeks were not born yet back then.
