Well it could have been another sunburst/red/white Strat. At least it looks ten times better than the god awful Jagstang. Had the guitar been a little bit more squinty at the butt it would have been pretty much spot on.
With designs like this you really have to try them to get a proper idea. It may well be super comfy. Or it could be like the Cyclone where they took a great small body design, made it thicker and squared off the edges and made one of the worst guitars in Fender/Squire history. |

The bass is dank, but that guitar looks wack. _________________

fender used to be better at combining different aspects from varying instruments to make something new. i think it was also because they weren't afraid to bridge the inevitable gaps with a little innovation (bronco bridge for example). now it's like they have this fixed palette for building instruments and never stray from it. totally different from their roots. _________________ 33 by Saturday's Child available now! |

I think it's cool that an actual player/artist can design a new guitar. Of course it has the inevitable, obvious influences... But kudos to Squier for this. And the Vista Series. Some love, some hate. But well done. _________________ my name is Pat. |

Yeah that's the only neat aspect. If it's something that has a following and they're doing it for the kids, then whatever. I don't really care, I just think it's fugz. _________________

In comparison to the JagStang, SuperSonic and Sergio signature this guitar is not ugly at all. There are plenty of Fenders that were way uglier. The performer still has a cult following! |

I don't think it's ugly, it's just meh to me. I think the Jaguar, mustang, and Jag-Stang are more aesthetically pleasing, imperfections included.
I fell for the Jag-Stang off pure comfort alone, it's one of those cases where I kinda-sorta liked the shape on sight, but then found it comfortable and it quickly grew on me. _________________ It's Me |

If you read that offset thread, Jarman replies at length about how they got involved in designing those guitars for Fender and the sort of thing they were aiming for. |

Ordered one of these last night, delivery date is due at end of August. First time in years I've bought a guitar without playing it first, hope it isn't a dog! |
