New Fender guitars and amps

(although given the often irrational gear snobbery common on the BKP boards, we would probably be discussing that instead!)

Actually, whilst we are undoubtedly a bunch of tone snobs on here, I've never noticed any snobbery about where a product is built.
In general I think this forum tends to take products as they come, with many forum members owning and playing (+ being proud of) lots of far-eastern gear.

Oooh, I like all three of those new Teles!

Damn you Fender for making me want to spend money!!

Totally, if they could do a hybrid of the first two, P90s with a trem, then i would more or less be sold!

I like the 'Black Dove' Tele.

The others?........The only vibrato that can be allowed on a Tele is a Bigsby.

Got to say these look more than a little bit intresing. Would be very intrested to try a left handed tele with a trem arm.

The Victoria version costs £909 at Charlie Chandlers - so an equivalent is not cheaper.

that's another american company, though. I'm sure martin or any other of a number of UK-based amp makers could knock you up a champ for a lot less than that.

But I can't help thinking that Fender could have got the excellent guys at their Mexico factory to build it for the price of a Blues Junior - I think that would have made more sense for something as simple as a Champ (although given the often irrational gear snobbery common on the BKP boards, we would probably be discussing that instead!)

yeah, that's a good point.
