    My Magnificent Showmasters--anyone else?

    Anyone else here own a Showmaster? I've got two---an FMT and a new QMT. The weird thing is, the QMT is fully 2-3 lbs heavier than the FMT. Can anyone explain that?

    Also, don't screw up your tremolo if you've got one of these---Fender has ZERO stats or data on what kind of drop-in you can get to replace the stock Korean model trem; they don't even know what it is or have dimensions on it. The guitar on the right has a Hipshot two-point drop-in trem, but it took a LOT of work to make it stay stable and return to tune.

    I have to rave about the quality of these instruments. Best guitars Fender ever made, in my opinion.

    Thank you! Yes, set necks, 24 frets, incredible fret access. Very small heel. I have been playing the Quilt top a lot and it's just an amazing instrument. If you can swing it, pick one up. You won't be disappointed.
