it's about time:
http://www.fender.com/sonicyouth/
no drumsticks included, but each guitar comes with a 24 page SY gear-nerd 'zine -- I can't afford these guitars, but I'd sure like a copy of the 'zine by itself.
finally, I wonder if the "wide Range" humbuckers in Lee's guitar are close to the Seth Lover-designed originals  , or are merely the same cosmetic-only replicas  that come stock with the current Telecaster Deluxe reissue? |

| They do look pretty sweet, but don't think I'd get one. The 'streamlined' controls might suit Sonic Youth's preferences, but I like options. |

I do like some signature models, but they are (most of the time) overpriced (these cost about $1600) . I don't like the finish on these models and would still like to have a tone knob. |

| saw these a while ago and immediately dismissed them as rubbish w/out the tone knob...and i mean, doesn't a SY sig model seem a bit self defeatist?... |

I think they're attractive variants on the Jazzmaster design, and would certainly appeal to many non-SY fans. I'm glad the sig itself is on the back of the headstock. Most sigs are very overpriced and don't necessarily get one that much closer to one's hero's sound. A tone knob is an easy add.. I just wish they'd offer some of these cosmetic specs on other guitars!
from the site's text, the Wide-Range humbuckers should be an improved reissue.. but they still sort-of eliminate the option of changing to normal pickups without getting a new guard. |
