I've been thinking about getting a Deluxe Nashville power tele. I was told it was discontinued by a sales rep at a online guitar store. Anyone know why? It seems there used to be a reliability issue with the piezo... But the online complaints are from years ago. The reviews I've read have been positive, even glowing.
Any ideas what they're replacing it with in 2015?

It's Fender. Models come and go. Colours come and go. It's been that way since forever. There's never any guarantee that a particular model will be brought back if discontinued. There's no guarantee it will be replaced with something else, either. Get 'em while they're hot.

In the alternate, obscene amounts of cash will get you anything your little heart desires if you pay a visit to the Custom Shop.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.

Also in the case of something like the Nashville Power Tele it could even be that Fishman increased the cost of the piezo bridge to Fender so now they would either have to really raise the price or cut their margin on each one too low. It wouldn't be the first time Fender dropped or changed a model because of a change in their relationship with a hardware supplier.

I decided to get a classic players baja tele, instead, and maybe some day I'll get a fish man piezo installed.
