    Other than the traditional Fender models--Tele, Strat, Jazzmaster, Jaguar, Mustang, etc--what kind of guitar would you like Fender to make?

    I think that they're already pushing the envelope with their new Supreme Stratocaster and I don't really care to see them go much further than this.

    Okay though... a 24 fret Telecaster. There... I said it lol!

    I like that all white Supreme, but I'd love to see some brand new model that Fender's never made. I have no idea what that would be, but it might be interesting. I liked the looks of that Robben Ford model they made in the 90s--it was a double cutaway set neck, I think?

    Something like Gibson's ES-335.

    I wish they would reissue their short lived PS 210 pedal steel guitar, really unique!

    That's a good one. I'd be interested in a lap steel in lefty, of course.

    I actually don't want fender to make any more new shit, I want them to go back to just stratocaster, telecaster, jazzmaster, mustang, duo-sonic, precision bass, jazz bass. one model of each. two for strat (trem and hardtal). the tele will be 3 saddle only. one country of origin, usa. one (lower) price and no custom shop extravagance either.

    I'd love to see the Performers come back out. They were just a little too ahead of their time.

    Well, that's what George and Leo created G & L for. They are to Fender as Heritage is to Gibson. They are actually more the real deal than what Fender offers today, and a much better value. Unfortunately, most Fender aficionados have no idea what a G&L is.
