Does anyone know where on the new Fender web site we can find a dedicated "newly released gear" section? The old web site had it per category (guitars, amps, etc.).

As much as I pride my self on being notoriously positive,the new website is horrendously impractical and difficult to use. What on earth was wrong with being able to find Modern Player instruments under the Modern Player tab? Now I have to know which "platform" they are. Terrible,I'm sorry to say.

Back to new gear . . .

Is that 12-string ever coming?

The previous way of finding new gear was far better. You could simply click on "Guitars" or "Amps" and see anything new under those headings. Now we need to drill down on each category under those headings (Telecaster, Stratocatster, etc...), get blasted with obnoxious pictures while doing so, and then sort. Not nearly as good.

And, overall, it seems like the new web site benefits Fender more than it does its web site visitors. I don't need a crotch shot of a dude crowd surfing, a shot of Hendrix's gaping mouth, or some other dude jamming on stage. I visit this web site for information, not a magazine spread or art review. What a joke.

I agree with Divebomb. The previous site was much easier to access both, info and reviews on Fender's gear. I hate the fact that they now have deleted the reviews which I found to be very helpful when purchasing gear.

For new gear, you may not know the name - that was the point of it, really, to let you know of things you did not already know about.
