See why dont Fender do more translucent colours, they look stunning.[/quote] Thanks. I think it costs more to do? If only because your timber selection has to be better when using trans finishes. [i]Some[/i] people (me) wouldn't approve of a 3-piece body, and you can't get away with weird grains, blemishes and even small knots like you can with a solid colour finish. Mine should've had a £100 upcharge on it. I was charged the MIA price, had my own case and didn't want any other stuff. £650. It's worth what I paid for it (IMO) YMMV, of course.

MikanHannille Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Would like to see an orange 70's jazz on rosewood and all the blocks and bindings of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davout Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 [quote name='Linus27' post='1351517' date='Aug 25 2011, 04:52 PM']Anyone else struggle with the standard Fender colours for their American standard Jazz and Precisions? I mean, for what is really the top of the line before going into the re-issue and specials, the choice is so limited and not very exciting. Black, Olympic White, Candy Cola, Blizzard Pearl, Charcoal Frost and Sunburst. Most are just block colours and pretty uninspiring to. They could at least have a natural option.[/quote] Fender do change the colour options every two/three years, so your favourite may come back in due course. There are other, maybe traditional colours offered in other trhan the 'Standard' series. The Vintage Reissues tend to have the more traditional colours from the early days of Fender. Tony.

I love that liquid yellow. Might even change my own Renaultsport 172 for a liquid yellow 182 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
