I have been playin guitar for 34 years and love fender guitars and amps. I would never give my opinion on things unless asked. Alot of hate goes on here about fender keeping up with the market (Artist series and Road worn and Now RI,s) People should like what they like and keep there opinions to them selves unless asked.

Agreed

It is another way to market a high quality product. If they did not do this other companies would have an edge on the market. As we say here in Atlantic Canada "whatever floats your boat"

Hopefully someone reading may have contacted Fender and have the answer to the qty produced.
