          Jesus Christ I hope so, if it's a star (but will never happen) or a white star at that (not even in a million years) I will trade my tangerine socal or kidney!

              Scott Splawn has an SD1 dinky oiled body and a regular SD1 Mah oiled on his site. Both are production guitars with grover tuners and the little stickers on the neck plate just like the current pro mods?

                I don't believe that the Charvel on Splawn's site is a real Charvel, because he says it's an SD1s with "custom" body. Looks like someone replaced the body, because the switch position is wrong. You can't say "SD1" and "custom" in the same sentence



                ------------

                In Japan there's a so-called "USA Custom Production Series". We will probably get something similar instead of the SD2

                  maybe they are just going to offer 2 colors each time instead of one and not put out another guitar.

                    Whatever it may be, it's going to be a body shape that Fender's production line is making already.

                          Well THAT'S no fun!

                          In all seriousness I would LOVE to see some nice rosewood fingerboards but that would be a pretty major change to their production line. I mean, making a different body is, too, but not on the overall process.

                          Right now they are cranking out a pile of maple Charvel 1-piece necks to put on all 3 current models. That one neck goes on any of the 3 guitars.

                          To do a different neck... That would deviate from the current production tactics more than just changing the 3rd body to something else... Like a top-routed 1-humbucker San Dimas Strat (white with gold hardware YES DO IT DO IT!!!!)

                          Not saying it won't happen (and I'd be pleased if it did, actually) but I'm more expecting them to do a 3-pickup SoCal (1H 2S) or a 1H San Dimas Strat.

                            I don't know. It might be the equivalent of a different body. It might have been too much to do with a different body:

                            Inital run:
                            - 3 body styles
                            - 1 neck style

                            6th Batch:
                            - 2 Body styles
                            - 2 neck styles

                            Hmm... sounds like the regular Fender Am Std production line...

                            And as for the 1 hum - give it up!!! Ain't gunna happen.

                              :think:

                              But... Hear me out, man... If they do white/gold 1-hum with a white pickup, they will sell at least ONE, to me, which would be ONE MORE than the number of San Dimas Style 2's that have sold TOTAL! :idea:
