Is there going to be a Fender Select Series in 2013? I really like them and I'm hoping to grab at least one. Just wondering if after this year they are gone? I can't decide which one to get either, tele or strat....decisions decisions.

I am wondering the same thing. It is bothersome that you cant get an SSS strat with a rosewood fretboard.

Funny you should mention that. I can't stand maple necks on a strat. So I'm leaning towards the HSS strat for the rosewood. I have never seen a Select in person but I'm seeing posts where they say the SSS is the better model to get but I can't get a clear answer as to why.

As for the Tele. I think I'll go maple top/neck. I can't justify the price of the KOA model just to get rosewood. Your into new PRS territory with that price tag and I do love my PRSi. Once I save up that kind of money, I'd probably just get another PRS.

I would really love to be able to get one Select this year, and maybe another next year.

Fender Select 2013 just introduced and i love to buy Telecaster HH Series, it look beautiful and amazing sound, especially on the Malaysian Blackwood Top, very sexy guitar.

Good Job Fender for your Telecaster HH Series !

the blacktop is nice. but, I will copy my post from tgp


As a fan of the 2012 Selects, and owner of a select tele.....And as someone who was looking for a select hss rosewood strat

...they completely ruined the hss strat for 2013. I hate the aged parts and the oversized silly looking headstock on it. The neck is a neat idea but I would have to see it first. I also think the color is a little....been there done that and nothing special.

The aged parts thing bugs me. When I was looking for a strat earlier this year I looked at a standard, aged parts, yuck. So I grabbed a American Deluxe, also aged parts, yuck. Then I found the selects and sure enough, no aged parts! yeah. So I bought the Select tele! lol, thats another story.

Don't worry, the original HSS with the small headstock is still into production!

Just exchange the stock maple for a rosewood from an HSS!
