FENDER METEORA HH 2022
Not totally new except for perhaps the Strat whammy. It has new/old Seth Lover '71 Wide Range PU's that they named the Fireballs. Definitely redesigned as the magnets are no longer available. They added some more output but still kept the vibe intact. The neck is C shaped maple or maple w/Pau Ferro fretboard with jumbo frets and a 12 inch(Gibson like) radius. It has a Strat whammy and locking tuners. The body is good ol' Alder.
The body style is unique but totally Fender. Jazz Master-ish but not weird.
For the neigh stayers I am 75 and every guitar Fender brought out from the get go was trashed, so join a long line of the sheep that said Baaaaah-ed. BIG But!! If you own any early model you have all you need for your retirement fund. So at $1150.00 it will end up being a steal in the coming years. The same money in gold won't come close.
THE FINE PRINT
I feel this guitar is the perfect candidate to throw another
hundred at it for a set of Wilkinson WLS130/S locking
saddles.They are near invisible to the eye and at most
need a GraphTech nut to make the whammy perform like
a Floyd in all but the really, really crazy stuff!!!
