Nice starter for NAMM, thanks.
Wondering if they strayed from 25.5" scale on the Troublemaker, I certainly hope so. Could give me a full tank of GAS. I don't own an LP or any double bucker solid body so it would fill a position. Not to interested in the other designs.

I like the Fender Limited Edition Whiteguard Strat

"This one is a hybrid Stratocaster and Telecaster in Vintage Blonde and a single ply white pickguard. The Whiteguard Strat comes loaded with a pair of Custom Shop ’51 Nocaster pickups and a Telecaster bridge, control layout."

I'm not crazy about any of them but that's just me. Sometimes new looks and features take awhile to grow on me. Thanks for posting, Mike.

Thanks, Mike. Looks like 2018 will be a good year for us. I was surprised to read though that Gibson won't be in attendance. Wonder why.

I love the design, but I feel the specifications are a missed opportunity. Instead of being just another Tele with a different shape, I would’ve preferred to have seen different pickups like maybe Shawbuckers and/or JP 90s.

There's a cherry sunburst Nashville Elite Tele with two Pure Vintage '64s and a Shawbucker 1 in the bridge slot. The S-1 switch splitting the Shawbucker is placed in the master tone pot instead of the master volume knob.

I read somewhere that they decided to do the CES instead. (Consumer Electronics Show)

One of the ugliest designs ever seen. I like the Telemaster better.
