I think the body shape looks a bit like this but not not as well considered.

What IS that?  Diggin; the whole Jazzmaster trem on a Mustang vibe the mostest, daddy-o.

Fender must be pissed by this leak.

It's a massive improvement over that Meteora but I still hate tortoiseshell and that trem.

Jeez that is awful looking, a sure fire mega flop

i don;t hate the body shape, but that plate is terrible.   Its like they gave 4 designers a corner each, and didn't show them the body shape

I wasn’t aware Rita Ora played the guitar so why does she have a signature model?

Low weight. Pleasingly deep, chunky neck profile. Comfortable against the body. I did not plug into an amp. That could have been hazardous to my bank balance.

I'd be tempted if it not for the black block inlays that give me emo kid nail polish vibes.

Oh, and the fact I've already got two guitars to pay for

Cool vid, however I'd rather have a regular Telemaster. Just before the end there's a light blue one with rosewood board and humbuggies. Looks far tastier! Maybe a sign of things to come.

Totally wasted opportunity. Why go for such traditional pickups and a traditional layout? At least other guitars like that Modern Player Maurader tried something different (for fender) with the triplebucker pickup

I don't mind the body design at all, but if you're going to make a big fuss about trying something different, don't choke when it comes to the bits that matter.

Good point. On the other hand, some screwdrivers, a few touches with a soldering iron and, say, a pair of Hot Rails or Li'l 'bucker pickups would fix that for yez.

I'd have one of these first:

They should have really gone to town on some new pickups. Maybe triple mini humbuckers like the St Vincent.

robdynamite

Is this just a Fender version of Gibson's RD?

hotpickups

Hmmm interesting but I think I like st Vincent. However I just wish that had single coils  lol

 I like it .The telemaster is arse heavy but this a nice balance.I too would prefer rosewood and dots and a 12 inch radius.A burst for me please but LPB wil do.
