I am absolutely positive one of the Fender Japan sites (not Ishibashi though) was offering factory LR Jazzblasters in shell pink and some sort of red a few years ago. Please tell me I'm not mad.
I'd never be tempted to buy a signature guitar, but I'd like Fender to make some just to give the respective artists the recognition they deserve:
David McComb 70s Jazzmaster
Blixa Bargeld Mustang
Roger Miller Fender Lead II
Actually, these are all stock guitars so there's very little point.

ANY PICKUP MANUFACTURER should/could do a Peter Green neck pickup with a swapped magnet. Something which, if dropped into a guitar, would instantly give the magnetically out-of-phase sound on the middle position.
Bare Knuckle already do a matched set with a flipped magnet on the neck pickup for a shitload of money. Just the neck pickup, calibrated to match, say, Burstbucker pros or 498ts (the pickups in the bridge position of most standard gibsons), would sell like crazy. Flipping the magnet on a $100 Gibson o.g. pickup is a bit risky for some less mechanically inclined mojo-munchers.

I saw an Epiphone Bob Marley at the store today, I didn't even plug it in I was like... yeah. I'm with Mike on this one, I don't like somebody else's name or specs on my guitars. Though yeah, I wouldn't mind Fender building me a custom guitar.
Even a RIC John Lennon signature, I think I would rather have the stock 325 or 350 to play. If I were reselling it, then I'd take the sig. model...

Absolutely nothing. Flipping the magnet has to be done anyway sometimes with a mismatched hummer set when you want the wiring color codes to work.deadonkey wrote:what's the difference between flipping the polarity of the magnets and flipping the phase by swapping the wires around?
You'll find some guys on TGP who say there's a difference, but electronically there's none.
I'd want my custom guitar to be a C-body silvertone (like a small U-1) with a single lipstick at the neck, a strangle switch, bigsby, and built in tremolo.
i DO want to see:
tom morello strat (yeah, that's going to happen...)
greenwood tele (ditto...)
allegedly dave gilmour's signature strat is in progress...
SY tribute JazzBlaster or similar. Drumsticks/Screwdrivers included in the case, along with a load of stickers.
Hugh Manson designed, mass-produced versions of the Matt-o-casters for under £1000. No kaoss pad needed, just good pickups, Vexter fuzz, MXR90, and a killswitch
i DON'T want to see:
yet another crap (c.f. SRV rip-off) blues player's signature strat doing the rounds.
any more Squier signature guitars for utterly talentless artists.

I don't see why Fender wouldn't issue a custom shop Johnny Greenwood tele when the Radiohead demographic gets old enough to afford a thousand quid guitar. As dull and turgid as his music is, a tele with red lace sensors and a kill switch would be pretty fun.
Can't see why anyone would want to emulate that Muse wanker though.

just contemplating a greenwood tele with a 'name-your-own-price' pricetag.. thinking the fender execs would go for that surely...
think the whole issue with it though would be along the lines of carbon offsetting the instrument's production, making sure the wood was sustainable, no logo or branding yada yada...
and you have to admit, having a guitar with built-in fuzz factory would be awesome regardless of whether or not it had anything to do with muse
