    Fender At It Again: Parallel Universe II Jazz Strat

    I got a notice about this new guitar, and since I've been talking about jazz here on TFF, went to take a look.

    Meh.

    For starters, it's US$1,999 - W-A-A-A-Y more than an off-the-shelf Strat ought to run. Then, it has only two pickups, single coil, and a three-position switch. Basically, it's a Jazzmaster in a Strat body.

    I'll pass.

    What's the point?

    It's like a Big Apple Strat with the world's lamest bridge and tremolo tailpiece.

    And at a stratospheric price! That's just adding insult to injury.

    I like a lot of the strange offsets that Fender is running these days, but that Strat is just horrible looking. I wouldn't take one for free unless I could flip it fast.

    That makes the Strat body look really squat.
