Fender Pawnshop Reverse Jaguar

Love the medium-scale neck; it's about bloody time! Wish it were rosewood.

But I don't like the body shape, the pickups, the bridge, or the lack of upper-fret access. And the colors are booooooring.

What I'd prefer is a Fender version of the Squier E-series bass (rosewood & medium-scale). I'd buy that in a heartbeat!

I'm going to start putting my rupples aside, if it plays well I'll add one to the fold. I like the idea of a unique Fender.

I'd change the guard on any of the colors, black or white pearl on the red, black or tortoise on the sunburst and black or tortoise on the black would be my choices. (I just don't like boring white guards.)

if it's cheap and feels great, maybe put some g&l mfds in it

i'd like to know how they trade marked "pawn shop". also curious why the name pawn shop, when i think of pawn shops i think cheap prices on good stuff. $800 on a fender is not a cheap price

To me, it just looks awkward. I'd say it's an error on Fender's part.

It looks gnarly I will give it that. If my local music stores ever get them in I will have to try one out.

I think that they'll sell a few to people who want something different but like the comfort of having Fender on the headstock. I don't that this will affect their other lines in any way, it just gives them a totally different product for a different customer.

I think that it isn't a bad idea. If you don't like it, there are plenty of other basses out there for you.

I'm a lefty that learned to play on right-handed basses flipped upside down.....THIS THING WAS MADE FOR ME!
