It's ugly in any color.

And costs way too much.

Terrible taste

Also guitars ain't cheap. A Fender with lesser parts and outdated design would be $300 more.

The only reason to spend that much on a guitar is if you're a professional recording artist. Hobbyists spending more than, like, $600 makes no sense.

Also I was leaning towards whote but then I saw more pics and the pickguard kinda blends in a little too much and it gets this kinda 80s hair metal super strat vibe

Hmmm

All rosewood neck + neat pickup config + light + good trem system

Most manufacters are moving away from rosewood or phasing it out entirely, so getting a full rosewood neck is gonna get pricey over the next few years.

Ah, I see. If you do buy, post some pics, or even a demo.

Those are both bad choices.

I'm not a fan of cheesy, bombastic guitars, though. I feel like they are the sort of guitars that douches buy to impress girls and hang on their walls and never play.

It's just a more tasteful Explorer/more functional Firebird tho

Aside from the materials used for the neck, you can get a strat with more tasteless bells & whistles than this

Yeah, I agree that it's not the worse offender. It's just too much for me.

Last bump

White is more in line w "my aesthetic" (I play in a goth/post punk band), blue is very lovely though.

Jazzmasters and Jaguars, after 50 years, still ship with a completely usesless bridge and a trem system that, while lovely when used properly, requires invasive modification to the guitar to make it function properly. On non-vintage spec models, rather than fixing it the way everyone always has by installing a piece to drastically increase break angle of the strings over the bridge, they just moved it slightly forward, enough to prevent the modification, but not enough to actually remove the necessity for it.

The Mustang tremolo is also wholly worthless, and no amount of modification or proper set up can salvage it. They do offer models without it, however no Mustang is currently a "high end" guitar, and the ones I've played recently are honestly on par with the higher end Squiers, which I prefer to lower end Fenders.

Telecasters are a widely variable model and there are some sick ones, but most of them have no body contour and as such are extremely uncomfortable to play.

Strats have a volume knob and selector switch positioned such that they will frequently be knocked out of position by harder playin. I had to tape both into position on my strat because I would frequently turn myself down or switch pickups mid-song and it would completely fuck with how my whole rig sounded.

I love Fenders and still want a Jazzmaster, but when every guitar purchase has to be something I can use right of the box, they just aren't the smartest option.

*Picks up Strat

My pinky hovers over the tone knobs and my ring finger floats over the pick guard between the pickup selector and tone knobs. I started on a Strat clone (I now play an American Standard) so I never worry about hitting the switches. I never played a Jazz or Jag, not very much anyways.

I hit it when I'm strumming @ shows all the time. At home it's a none issue, but for practical use it's terrible
