Hello, I was wondering if there was any news on a remake of the Supersonic, its an amazing guitar and would be a great guitar to bring back into the market?

The Supersonic was available only as a Squier version if my memory serves me well.

It's no longer in production, so don't expect for a reissue in the near future as Fender has other plans for 2012.

Basically it's an upside-down Jaguar with dual humbucking pickups.

A friend of mine had one just a few short years ago. The guitar looked cool, until I played it. I was not impressed at all. The build quality and playability were fine. But just like my personal Jag-Stang, it sounded like garbage! With different pickups it could be something....I have never changed the pickups in my Jag-stang due to it will detract from what little collectability it has. The Supersonics did come in cool sparkle finishes though! :D I think the new Squier Jazzmasters and Jaguars are much better looking guitars, and will probably prove to be more useful in the long run.

this guitar was inspired from an old photo with Jimi playing an upside-down Jaguar
