What will replace the San Dimas style 2?

[vondran]

it's a vicious cycle. I think Charvel has learned their lesson with ponties. I would not expect to see them on a production model any time soon.

At production model prices, I think things may be a little bit different. Plus the ones with v-trems really hurt the attempt last time.

[Robert Hendrix]

Actually, I've always preffered the pointy. My SDIII has a (sort of) strat style headstock, and I do like it. But as a rule, I don't like strat style headstocks. Which has been one of my few issues (along with the recent jack in price) with the production model. So, yeah, I'd vote for a pointy style.

[Bionic]

so let me get this straight. Now we're wishing that a usa made charvel did not come with a strat head but instead came with a pointy head stock? I guess if you live long enough you will see it all.

rofl...

You apparently missed the boat. The last production pointies (Strats and Stars) could be ordered with your choice of V-trem or Floyd, choice of rosewood, ebony or maple fingerboard, choice of H, H/H, H/S and H/S/S pickup configurations.

In a heartbeat.
This comes over at the production model price, I'm right there.
Or this in a shell pink.

Love the color, but kill the tone knob and that worthless trem. Make it a hardtail or Floyd equipped with chrome hardware, and then we'd be talking about another sold out model. Rock.

Fender makes a boatload of guitars with worthless tremolos, no thanks to one more as far as I'm concerned.

A hardtail would be cool, though, and something you can't get on many Strats these days.

You shouldn't dis Floyds like that.

Zing!

I was referring to just the SD2 tele body with a pointy. I've always liked teles with a pointy headstock or a regular tele headstock.

[AndyK]

I'm throwing my guess in there:

Strat body, ebony board, H/S/S. Otherwise, you already have the SoCal and SD1, a simple rosewood board wouldn't make much of a difference by itself. But an ebony board, AND different pickup config clould be called something else, like the SD3, etc.

[chrisolson]

I don't see ebony at this pricepoint.

... or the AS model, as in Adrian Smith...

Does anyone have a date that the new models will be announced? I thought someone had said it should be sometime this month?

They've released the new models at the beginning of each quarter, so it should be early October I suppose. Last batch was released July 3rd.
