New Fender models in 2023

[Kandinskyesque]

Would it be too difficult to make a uke lefty?

Never tried, but there's only 4 nut slots and a bridge piece to sort.

There's a few cool looking Ukes that Fender are making.
These two in particular.
They ain't cheap but versus something with a screen, I know what I'd rather be spending my money on for the grandkids.

My Grandson is looking for a guitar the same as his "Big Grampa", I think it wiser to keep his 5 y/o fingers on a Uke first because he's already able to play a few chords on his sister's lefty uke as well as a few scales/tunes on the keys.
He's definitely been bitten by the guitar/music bug as was I at his age.

Unfortunately Fender don't seem to do lefty versions.

buy used

everything but your underwear


there are already way too many guitars in existence

That's not bad advice at all.

there's plenty of most everything in existence already. we don't need to be manufacturing more/paying new prices

I think you're completly right, but a reissue of the Electric XII would be great ;-)

More craptastic colors, hideous oddities (paranormal II), the new AQV (American Quasi-Vintage) series, Am Pro III. I also suspect that they’ll largely ignore the Thinline.
Perhaps we’ll get a new neck profile. They birth those like rabbits.

Tweed Tonemaster amps and Esquire pickguards.

I have been holding off buying Roland Blues Cube for the fear that as soon as I do, Fender will announce Tweed Tonemasters. Maybe I should just get a 5f6 pedal and count my blessings.

Time for yet another new pickup that was reserved for custom shop only builds to become in the American Standards. Price increases of 3%, and some language about being more environmentally conscience in using recycled materials in the builds.
