I wish Fender brought these back

[FernandoDuarte]

I've always had a bit of a soft spot for the Swinger/Musiclander, but I don't think there's much chance of seeing that reissued either!

Yes, but Warmoth has the Musiclander body and this Arrow headstock :P

Yes indeed.  :lol:

But I think I'd probably go for a regular Strat headstock if I was going to build a Warmoth one.

musiclander very cool philly!


headstock reminds me of this:

[Philly Q]

Is that a Fender Katana, or just something very similar?

[Telerocker]

I would love to see Jazzmasters and Jaguars with a way better bridge and tremolo-system. That what is keeping me away me from these guitars now. Not the sound, I love the Jazzmaster.

well, it was meant to be a fender katana.. but it looks like a bolt-on neck, so its probably the squier one.

It still looks damn ugly, even being the first sight on it :lol:

Sorry Phill! Not sure of Strat, but I like the Jackson... Perhaps a tele...

[Philly Q]

I quite like the "Jackson", Fernando, but not sure about the pointy headstock.... I think a Kramer/hockey stick type might look better?

Strat headstock looks OK to me:

Do you like them?  I actually considered buying one many years ago, but looking at them now they're pretty shiteous.  They need the "V" cutout - as it is, they look too much like a balalaika!  :(

i've considered katanas.. but i just don't like them enough. i don't think they look terrible, but the shape hasn't aged well. i'd rather get a hamer scarab or something.

edit: the fender version with the set neck looks a little nicer

[Telerocker]

Tele's just have the best shape, as have Strats. That's why those designs still rule.

by "Jackson" understand "Jackson headstock", I was lazy to write everything :lol:
Perhaps it would be nice with the Kramer head...
But I think with the Strat headstock it look too "nice guy" :?

yes, i'm not sure its right either, but to me it looks the best of the option posted so far.

It is but it's still goddamn ugly in the flesh. they do play well though, I'm not a fan of the System One Trem though, it's not overly stable but that could be down to wear on my mates katana as he's had it from day one and used to play it a lot.

That Musiclander makes me think of a BC Rich for a more reserved person. I don't like the Fender, but some of the Warmoth ones look nice.
