......and likely more disappointments. I don't get the impression that the 'suits' share your nostalgia. Reitterating from prior discussions on the matter, I'd like to the the "Performer'' in that group, with a new headstock design.

Or, indeed, the Performer, yes. The "modern" guitars are strangely missing from Fender's vision.
The closest thing is probably the Jim Root Jazzmaster. (The minimalist design makes me suspect the genius of Yuriy Shiskov was involved.)

If you're talking about new product ads from companies not necessarily named Fender, yes, I agree.

Only the thin neck stopped me from walking home with a new semi-expensive Ibanez the other day. I need a V or at least something round, or my old thumb tires too quickly. But they're great quality modern guitars, and there are new things happening every year - some that fail and some that win. That's doing business. You know they'll come to NAMM with more than just different paint jobs and made-to-look-old models.

Very disappointed. I was sure there would be at least a Squier version of the Electric XII since the Squier Bass VI was such a success. Rumors were rampant and apparently inaccurate. I'm still searching for a reasonably priced Stratocaster 12 on eBay and elsewhere. I may end up with the Dean Boca 12 after all.
