New Squier colors/models for 2021

Just saw that there are some new Squier colors/models for 2021. These are Affinity series. The P and J basses look like the same body shape and headstock shape as the other Indonesian made models. That seems encouraging. The burgundy mist jazz bass looks nice. Might be a nice modding platform.

The 32" Jaguar with an MM in the P position. I predict this will sell bazillions if not more.

I agree. Squier came out with a regular scale VM Jag with that humbucker too close to the bridge a while back, to me it sounded a little too well... nasally. In the P position, I bet the new one will sound pretty sweet.
A charcoal frost medium scale Jag what more can anyone ask for? If it does become popular, that'll mean I probably won't see it in our local music stores for a couple years or so.

Interestingly these are not on Fender.com yet. Adorama still lists the 3 old colors for the P (red, black, white) at the $229 price point. Curious if there will be two tiers of Affinity or if the $50 increase is the new normal once the old colors are gone. I like just about everything Squier does but that $80 price increase over 2 years is steep!

And so if and when we see new VM, are they going to walk upstairs too ?

I believe these are coming out of the Indonesian factory - probably as good as the old VM’s and current CV’s.
Looking forward to these Affinity’s

you forgot to mention the V’s. This Oly white Jazz V looks awesome!

Do these have 70’s pickup spacing?? Those pickups look farther apart than usual.
