My Aerodyne Tele is my favourite and main guitar. But I don't really like these for some reason.

I'm sort of gassing after an Aerodyne Strat of the same issue/year as my Tele, but they aren't cheap.

Meh. Fenders always look odd with no pickguard.

It’s like seeing an old friend without their glasses for the first time, “bro, I never realized how funny looking you were!”

Back in our heyday, this would be an emoticon.

Back when dots made an effort.

Give him a break, he’s got a lot of birthday obligations.

I really like a couple of these new Aerodyne finishes aesthetically, and I'd like to grab a Tele and a P-Bass, but the 12" radius and hot pickups kinda turn me off.

Same. My main 4-string is a second run Aerodyne JM (with Strat jack), and my Aerodyne Tele has become my go-to 6-stringer... they play SO well.
The original run, no pick guard Aerodyne Strats are running stupid expensive (honestly, the whole era of Aerodynes are), and almost all the ones I've come across have too much finish damage for their prices (especially with how poorly the old Aerodynes take finish damage aesthetically).

I'm sure they've used Speed Green before (on the Performer?) but
