New Squier Vintage Modified Telecaster Custom

Does anybody have the information on it? I was sent the info about the offsets but I missed the Telecaster Custom/Deluxe (the new ones not the old ones). Also notice Fender made public with the Squier Vintage Modified Jazzmaster/Mustang on their official website.

Squier is on a roll these days! I'm on pins and needles waiting for the VM Jaguar to be "Officially" announced. I've seen leaked pictures of them, along with the now confirmed 'Stangs and Jazzies - wonder what the hold up is? The Tele C/D sounds cool too, if they make a Lake Placid Blue one with a rosewood fretboard, it's MINE! =)

Vintage Modified Telecaster Custom, why not go the whole hog and add Deluxe on the end?

Taking a lesson from Microsoft, it could be Vintage Modified Telecaster Custom Professional 2012 Service Pack 3 Live.

Not sure what your are talking about. Squier is releasing both the '72 Deluxe and the '72 Custom.

They've been out for a few years now. Click the model name next to the blank guitar.
(I was getting all excited for a while there).

Hmm, maybe there are new ones coming then, maybe not. I really don't need any more guitars!

I hate reading those things.

How are these any different to the current models?

The 2nd and 4th actually should have the necks swapped to be closer toward "model correct." I would not pay a lot of $$ for an 'Indo Squier.

I have the black twin bucker Custom, reworked the frets, (which were horribly high) and did a gloss lacquer on the neck. After I fit a three tree bridge & SC, it will play better than the real deal.

(too many projects, not enough time.)

Also have a Mustang, Jaguar, and Jazzmaster coming out (and not the HH Jag or the maple board Jazzer, real ones).

The outgoing Squier Custom has two humbuckers (a la deluxe) and the usual tele headstock (a la custom), since somebody asked about the difference.
