Would be nice to have a vintage 50's style V or at least soft V neck option.

Like on my 50's classic series, with a 7.5 radius. Or like the soft V on my Lite ash. Only thing offered is a modern c with a 9.5 which is fine, but I like the feel of the V neck. With other licensed venders with other choices for shape and radius, it would be nice to get the same choice from Fender itself.

Buongiorno MedalHellway, Fender customer service is excellent, just like their solid body electric guitars are, http://forums.fender.com/viewforum.php?f=41 is the Italian Fender Forum, hope that helps. Give Fender customer service a ring, they can help.

Just got the email from fender.com re: Necks & Bodies, kinda cool. The selection is limited but that's to be expected at first.

Lot of forum votes for a Neck with soft V back contours (+1), I would like to see Vintage gloss tint on it. I'm looking for one now.

I'd like to see quarterly specials, ie: Grafitti Yellow, Plus type bodies or SRV style necks, 12" radius & asymmetrical back contour. WooHoo

Thanks Fender :D

That's good news.

I've been wondering for a while why Fender does not build any USA "Superstrat". (Floyd rose, humbuckers, less switches and knobs type of guitar...think charvel!)

There was one like i'm thinking about on Music Zoo that was masterbuilt, on a 69 strat frame, amazing guitar, just plain amazing...but over seven thousand dollars :D

So I'd like to see options like pickup routing and bridge routing added to the selection of fender parts.

Of course, you could get away with selling only pre-made standard parts, like right now, but as others have suggested, it would be very nice to be able to select a few features, just like other websites offer.

I am ready to pay for a genuine fender item, but if it does not meet most of my specs, I might chose competition...

I am also guessing you will be asked for that kind of "customization" option alot. :mrgreen:

Let's wait and see

Hey Brad I was looking earlier and didn't notice any left handed necks.
I know the lefty market isn't huge but it does appeal to the Hendrix fan boys that want a correct way round body, as well as lefties.


Feel free to keep that kind of feedback coming ... as excited as we are we also want to know what you'd like to see next!

Why? Whats the point? Fender are the worst company to support lefties, and have been for many years, every new line of instruments have no option for lefties, and if they do, we always get the worst colours or spec. The number of messages I've sent to Fender over the years, gets me nowhere, Fender are still baised against left handed players, and I can't see this changing anytime soon unfortunately.

It's business. :roll:

Companies cut production costs to save money and survive the global financial turmoil, that's the explanation.

Three years ago Fender cheapened the American Deluxe series by deleting a couple of features.

If you want a lefty, you've to choose the expensive Custom Shop route.

Otherwise take a look at eBay for used gear.

I have been looking for bodies and necks for a while. While I'm inclined to buy from Fender a replacement neck and/or body for one of my genuine Fender guitars, I would not buy from Fender for a neck and/or body for a build. For the price of a neck and body, you could buy a new Fender guitar already built.

I would consider a build if there was an option for a Hardtail Strat body. Other than that, Warmoth still has my interest for full builds.
