Meteora Player

In the mean time, the Fender camp is getting everyone's attention by including the Meteora into the Player Plus Series (main diff - this one has a whammy bridge). This has to be the most radical & acceptable Fender body design of late & it's doing rather well namely because that outline facilitates playability. I played the Alternate Reality Meteora & deemed that one very player friendly despite that shape. I prefer the Meteora to the Jagstang.

Fender 2018: Meteora

This is a little difficult to appreciate let alone understand. Some would applaud Fender for being bold but others would deem this an abomination. Whatever the case may be, this is the Fender Meteora, new for 2018 but remains to be a limited edition offering. We thought the Offset Tele was the limit to all things hybrid but it seems the Telecaster theme is brought over here with a dash of Jazzmaster. The ash body remains to be 'fresh' in terms of design  but I wager this one would be on the 'one that got away' list.
