Would you like to see next?

I'd settle for either an Electric or Coronado XII or a Cyclone II

Why not a Bronco guitar with a matching Vintage Modified '68 silverface amp :?:

I'd love to see a pawn shop edition of the Fender Lead 3, if the decision were up to me. I think it'd be great to be able to get one of these in brand new condition - it'd be a must have for me.

Why not having all three?

Lead IV with three SD mini buckers, Lead V with dual P90s and of course the giant of the Pawnshop series Lead VI with a trio of Fidelitrons, Techtonic stoptails and a bound tuxedo neck.

These newest additions would be a spin to the original design.

I have a serious soft spot for the quirky Katana.

The Performer wasn't ugly in my eyes.
I loved the look, and they played great.

i recently saw a used one for sale, but couldn't afford it.

In some ways I'd prefer a Performer to a Strat.

I would also like to see a new Performer. They were pretty short lived.

If you crave for an Elite reissue or a MIJ Contemporary with the infamous System III bridge assembly, you should hold your breath as Fender has no plans to release those models yet.

I want them to look to the future too.
Optical pickup, built-in wireless transmitter, laser self-check of frets and bow, tungsten frets, adjustable nuts, 28 frets, you name it.
So bring back superstrats (like lead and prodigy) that new tech can be tested on, and then trickle it onto other models once or if it becomes viable.

If I really have to mention a blast from the past, it would be a single-pup Tele/Esquire with a humbucker.
Like this, but with a much hotter pickup (Black Winter?) and MIA:
