FENDER Alternate Reality - METEORA half the price!!!

$2000.00 USD
FENDER METEORA

Last year Fender brought this guitar out in their
limited edition US made Parallel Universe line.
A lot of guys hated the shape ...but they were
the same guys that in 1954 thought Fenders new guitar the Stratocaster should look like a Les Paul :-)

This year Fender will bring out a variation as a MIM model.

$1000.00 USD

I would have preferred a Fender Hardtail bridge and a maple fretboard. I hate the Pau Ferro ...it is not hard enough to give you that nice zing of maple and not as soft as rosewood so you do not get the warmth. A lot of game playing as Indian rosewood has been farmed for decades to make the centurys old ...and still popular Indian carvings so it is not and never has been an endangered species and is 100% legal.
Why does Fender put a Tune-o-matic 'Gibson' bridge on their guitars? It is neither cheaper nor does it sound better or give you more sustain ???

Still it is nice to at least have the guitar. It will
only be out in May and it will be all sold pre-ordered.
This will be a collectors item ...guaranteed!
In 10 or 20 years young guys will think you
were crazy to dis this guitar when you could
 of had for small change.
I am 72 ...I've been here before and watch my contemporaries laugh at the classics when
they came out.
One last thing ...the US one will become
part of the standard line this year.
