      For me, the '58 Strat. The reason is easy. That guitar sounds awesome and 1958 is my Year of birth. She's looking good, a little relic, not to much. What I missed, the pinholeburns on the headstock. Watch the Strats from SRV and Eric Clapton in his early years. ☺☺ Meanwhile EC doesn't smoke anymore. 👍👍 all in all, good work from Fender. Greets and shine on and have a happy weekend

    Not that they’re not quality instruments, but the custom shop’s catalogue is more or less exclusively vintage regurgitations. I wish you could do something a bit more modern.

      Actually, that's the opposite problem I have. Almost all their offerings are "vintage" in name only. Every year they roll out year marked basses with horrible modern spec necks. Medium Jumbo frets, and 9.5 or flatter radius. If I wanted a Fender that played like a knock off I could save a lot of money and just buy a Nash.

      @@danielphillipsmusic9145 they are all based of vintage styles and they are vintage inspired. Just with modern changes that in some cases are better.

      God that’s a matter of opinion. They used to have a series for what you’re talking about. It was called the Custom Classic. The Time Machine Series was true to spec instruments. Now with the exception of two Rosewood board Basses and the limited edition 51 you can’t get a true to spec Reissue or recreation of a P bass made in the US. They are all bastardized with modern necks. If you’re putting a year on something then it’s default specs should be true and you can pay extra and wait for whatever you want done to it. The American Vintage series is gone. Now all US factory Basses are modern neck only. It’s ridiculous. Glad I got both my AVS 57 P and CS Time Machine P when I did. The Shop offerings have gone to hell since Mike left. Fender now treats Basses like big guitars. It reminds me of Gibson.

      @OmniPlayer Sound Correct. Not knocking the Mexi basses, but the Vintera signals a step in the same direction from the Roadworn and Classic series basses. The Road Worn and Classic Lacquer 50's P had correct finish, and neck specs, hardware (minus tug bar and covers), and the only thing you really had to swap if you wanted to upgrade it was the electronics as they were modern pick ups and tone circuits. Now the AO has followed suit. I believe not only has the fretboard radius changed, I don't think they are using the correct tone circuits anymore. It's all cost cutting most likely. However, we had the AVS for 30 plus years (yet somehow never got a 51 Reissue in it). The AO is already failing. I don't mind paying extra for a Fender that plays and sounds like a Fender using the correct specs. That's not an option from Fender on basses at all anymore outside of the Custom Shop and most of them require a special order. Despite having a large assortment of "year" models. The Journeyman and Post Modern series all have years attached to them with modern necks. The 69 P bass has a modern neck radius. It's ridiculous.

      I feel like they're afraid of designing something new and not being successful
