I'm not a big fan of satin finishes on guitars, with or without a clearcoat. Maybe that finish is a little more low maintenance than a gloss finish. I do own two satin guitars, though both are Ibanez, not Fender. I'm using a satin paint on my house, that finish looks good enough there.

im digging the maple neck ones. the arizona colour and the gold ones look mega. i wonder if they're the same finish as on my one ? from certain angles the satin finish on mine sort of changes, as did the other colours from the series.

i loved the fact that my sweaty arm didnt stick to my guitar while i was gigging, like it does with a gloss finish.

Satin isn't for me. I like them nice and shiny, especially when they are brand new.

As always, this is merely IMO where YMMV.

Unfortunately the range lacks off bass guitars.

Personally I would be particularly happy if Fender releases a Satin Precision in Flame Orange and a Satin Jazz in Blaze Gold.

I'd have to see them in person, or other more detailed pictures. The flame orange looks more like red to me, but it could be my monitor setting. I second the idea about the basses, too.

Love the Arizona Sun 8) It would look absolutely superb on the new Cabronita Precision! Yes! :)
