La Cabronita Especial Two Pickup

[lighteningboy]

I think my American Standard sounds just as good (at least) for $1000.00

[rednut2000]

Warmoth...you could make this for less than $1k...

[00Jackacid]

lol at all the poor fuckers who cant afford the guitar. do you jeer at hot blondes you cant afford aswell? spit on nice cars?

[aektzis91]

@00Jackacid its not a question of whether people can afford it or not, they are saying that it is ridiculously overpriced. I could build this guitar with warmoth body and neck, same hardware and stuff for under $1000 and it would look and sound just as killer.

[00Jackacid]

@aektzis91 look im sure it would sound fine a suit your purposes but the reality is that the pre cbs fenders were pratically hand built and as time goes by the beautiful sound they created as such will become more lauded. ive been in the studio and the difference in quality between an american standard and a vintage guitar is very apparent. the only thing ive played that comes close to that are the fender master built guitars.

[00Jackacid]

its not the rarity of the wood but they probably have alot of old tone wood that they use.

[staplek]

He may have came up with the concept but he can't pronounce it. Tele + gretsch pickups apparently = $5000 these days

[aektzis91]

im definately getting tv jones for my tele, but im confused, this one has classics, the 1 pickup version has a powertron. maybe a classic in the neck and a classic plus in the bridge would be the best compromise?

[FordIsBetter]

So a basic Tele body with new routing, a basic Tele neck, then "relic" it by damaging a brand new guitar and somehow that adds up to selling it for $5k. Hmm.

[SonnyOrion]

cmon this is a greasebucket toned guitar way too overpriced

[bowslap]

Easy budget-beater version: TV Jones sell what he refers to as the "TV Savalas" Telecaster bridge. Short version, it has a humbucker cutout in a modern Tele flat bridge-plate. Add a TV Jones(or equivalent) pickup, and you're in business for WAAAAY less.

[TeleJazzer]

I would have liked a seperate tone control for me do the mix myself. I'd rather put together a Tele and put a couple of TV Jones pickups myself which would cost less than a 1/4 of these things. 

[asprados]

So the pickups are hand selected and not foot selected, that's why it costs so much...right?

[15381472]

it sounds way too thin, not worth all the money

[TheAngello120]

I can take one of my excellent Chinese built Tele's , fit a pair of Tv's and wire it myself with multi-cap switch and things and all for £350 max, any color ( not shoreline as it shows every mark) and they stand up with the big F' s guitars and in some cases beat hands down. This after all was Leo's budget-buy model made of the cheapest lumber he could get .

[wyclifdotnet]

The LCE is a great design, it would be nice if there were a non-Custom Shop, consumer friendly version available. Not much else to quibble with except the "pearloid" tuners. Ugh. For CS prices, I think you should get decent metal Gotoh tuners at the very least instead of plastic!

[ROCKSTARCRANE]

Dammit, when are you You-Tube demo posters gonna get hip to the fact that when you have a vocal pickup mic open, WE AIN'T HEARIN' WHAT THE PUP REALLY SOUNDS LIKE. I only wish somebody made a pup with that glassy high end, but we're hearing the actual acoustical striking of strings with the amp mic (if there is one). It's a great old studio trick, but somewhat misleading here.....

[jonathanroosevelt]

Dont worry boys, the regular fenders here, in brazil all cost like 5000$ heheh

[Vanguard448]

Good grief. For that much money you could get about 6 Cabronita bodies and necks from Warmoth and build your own.

[knikk77]

Yes way overpriced. This is a beatuifull guitar, full of vibe and looks alot like the last esquire prototype before production start in 1949(50). But very simple guitar, the price is not justified.

[rangedqure]

its overpriced yeah for 1.5k i can get a masterbuild guitar by any guitar builder that plays way better it only doesn't say fender

[glidodgers]

It's not "Cobranita," Mike.

[JJJAAAKKEEE]

To the 5K Haters, have you ever heard of Craftsmanship. Not that I could afford one; however, I can respect that craftsmanship.

[RHCPFitz]

To the guys who say they can have the CS master/team build them basically the same guitar for cheaper- Good luck. The shop has refused more than one person who has tried to do the same thing.

[CodyCEngdahl]

Cabronita = small female goat. In slang it can have dirtier connotations.

[tutakar]

Dont like the tone or design! Very over priced!!

[bzablo1]

@tutakar then don't get one...

[jalbertochavez]

Did they know that "cabrona" means bitch and "cabronita" means little bitch in spanish?

Btw, this guitar is way over priced. I could have this made to my specs for under $1,500.

[alvaritooooooooo]

Ridculously overpriced

[bluzkat13]

Sounds exactly like a $300 Squier....and then like a $300 Squier if someone threw a blanket over the amp. WTF...

[Guitarorpheo]

5k for a slab of alder, a chunk of maple , 200$ worth of metal (tuners, bridge, pickup)?

b.s.

[antecresearch]

you can't imagine the amount of work that's behind that chunk of maple! it's true that you pay the brand and his history but you better watch carefully your words

[GlicVideo]

this thing sounds like it has absolutely no soul, character or sound.. can't believe someone actually managed to build a guitar like this..

[elmejorbajistaone]

cabronita in spanish is like the puzzy

[GROOVEYRECORDS]

You know I like this guitar better in the 57 Champ Video

Its the one pick up version.

I can't judbe the 2 pup version with this guy playing, sorry guy No Mas Tengo Huevos Cabron

[KevinCube]

GREAT idea... sounds awful. It's like a Tele had sex with a Gretsch and the baby had all their WORST features instead of the best ones. You can hear an utter lack of acoustic resonance. If an electric guitar doesn't sound good unplugged, it won't sound great plugged in. And it won't be worth this asking price either.

[123pentecost]

way overpriced

[bzablo1]

@123pentecost they only released 10 in each color. but, you can build an identical replica for under $750.

[TwangKing24]

Nice idea Fender...now how about a MIM version, add the TV Jones pups and sell it for $700 ?! You gotta be kiddin' at over five grand for a bolt on neck Fender ?!

[FrankieTeaTime]

nice but a complete waste of money

[EmoKidsScott]

heh no one knows what the name means

[dragonboy2992]

i know

[deadheadman66]

it means "the special, little bastard"

[alvaritooooooooo]

Any idea of what amp is he using?

[alvaritooooooooo]

I want that guitar... but it cost about 5600$???!!! Too much for that guitar i think... it's just a piece of wood with electronics!!!

[TheBlackCrayon77]

I agree with you my friend. What is the deal and who the heck do they think they're fooling? I mean I have all the love and respect for Fender but that is a very simple guitar design and shouldn't be costing anywhere near that.

[xxObscuraxx]

@alvaritooooooooo Lol good point.. the parts of this guitar would be no more than $600! Toa big company like fender??? I bet the parts cost half that...

[alvaritooooooooo]

@xxObscuraxx That price would be justified in a high end acoustic or carved top jazz guitar made by hand from a small builder or something but that price is just ridiculous from a guitar that has been probably cutted by a CNC machine!!! Another thing that would rise the price would be the use of a very special wood but this is not the case (...)

[hodowncorexxx]

are those tv jones pickups??

[NewOrleansPoser]

Way too bright and thin

[Fredwitrave]

In my opinion: I don't like the sound of this guitar at all - and I'm a huge tele-fan ...

[baconstealer1]

how much does that guitar cost?

[GabonGuitarM]

A LOT

[baconstealer1]

thanks

[whiteonsolo]

someone teach this guy how to say "la cabronita".

[tjsr21]

looks seriously nice in black. Must admit wish they cranked the amp up a bit for some of these demos. Need some drive occasionally. I guess its just not Mike's thing. Each to their own.

[dorielementary]

It would be even cooler if it wasn't artificially beat up.

[bernrecords]

Dave Brown was just laid off. From Feb. to now, Fender has laid off 200+ employees. After 4th of July more lay offs to come!

[blargfromouterspace]

Couldn't agree more. I dont like pre-worn jeans or sneakers either. WHY do they have to do this to an otherwise beautiful instrument? If you have a beat up anything, you should be the one who beats it up. Imagine you are the guy who has to do that to the finish in the factory. The boss would be like "You there, paint those guitars perfectly. Then when your done fuck them up a bit". "Why?" he'd ask.

[dorielementary]

I think they are pushing it to cover up shoddy workmanship. No more returns for defects.

[asolognier]

I am absolutely in love with mine!

[johnnystewartmusic]

john mayer got one

[asolognier]

You can see it on his Battle Studies blog.

[schecterGman]

i think it's beautiful.....

[FuckStaub]

I think the designe is ugly^^^

[ritsio]

I think the way you spell design is ugly. x

[iagobroxado]

Neat stuff

[andrewt248]

This is a very neat MODIFIED Tele! I love the TV Jones pickups. I've been wanting to replace the pickups in my humbucking guitar with 'em for a while now! Throw a Bigsby on it and it's a Fender/Gretsch love child!!!

[JAespies]

1:00 ruins it for me

[guns1rose]

having it reliced ruins it for me...

[synodofdort]

I think it is ugly

[Verminite]

Dude its a tele. It was designed for the 50's. Its for people with respect for the old ways.

[VercettiVice]

well the strat was a fifties model and look where it is now.

[eatsandsleeps]

Cool

[TheZimon99]

i love skittles

[guns1rose]

i love chicken.

[ioioio2009]

wow fantastic Cabronita!

[pancho710]

la cobronita ........k buen nombre jejeje nice guitar xd

[surfco]

it is called cabronita not cobronita.

[danielmclegg]

First proper comment... I think John Mayer has got one of the 20 gold ones already.. He must've been right on the phone when he heard about it..

[ColinLP87]

I bet that switch becomes handy once you start throwing effects and stompboxes on there.

[guysapire]
