Looks like fender has some of their Black Friday deals available early. I hadn’t heard of this model of fender before, but reviews well and sounds great. Ordered one last night!
Edit - looks like they have more in stock!

I really don't need another guitar, but that is so tempting..
Hah yeah, I caved! I’ve been looking for a HH Strat for a while, and when I saw this I had to have it. I love the shape and the colour
Do you have noise and hum issues with the bridge pickup when you touch any part of it? Neck pickup is fine…
Same with the Meteora Sunburst bass

Oh nice! I wish I could justify a bass too, but one instrument at a time :P
Is there an easy way to find what is on sale?
I had this email link, sorry if it contains some tracking of some sort - I don't get anything for it
https://www.fender.com/en-AU/black-friday-sale/?utm_source=n…
On this, I did what any ozbargainer would do though, got the email link, skipped that and went straight to hello kitty, put in cart and tested for mistakes in application of the discount. No dice.
If you want to remove the source tracking, just delete everything from the question mark from the URL ie https://www.fender.com/en-AU/black-friday-sale/
Wish I wasn't completely tone deaf and could play guitar 😔
You're probably just speaking generally because what you're wishing costs thousands upon thousands of hours. That being said, it's a tuned guitar - ie, unless you're bending a note, you're relying on the guitar to make the tone and thus, being tone deaf is not completely game over.
A lot of so called tone deaf people are just people who haven't exercised a muscle that they begin life with, quite untrained. Some people more than others.
Granted, getting out of that hole is a bit of a trial but playing a guitar is a great way to correct that.
Made in USA or MIM?
It’s a player, so MIM - but those factories are so close together the line is getting pretty blurred
The pickup does make a difference. Though at the end of the day its the player
50% off the colour they can't sell.Others only 30% off.Kosmic Jade is the killer but no discount.
The blue looks pretty toasty!
Usually not into loud designs like this but I actually think this is pretty cool and unique.
Was anyone able to get one, it was in my cart when it became unavailable..
The AVII Jazzmaster for $2650 is a steal!! One of the best guitar I’ve played
Interestinly the blue is my favourite of the pick and it's the only one 50% off! Would grab one though I've picked up two Gibsons in the past two weeks so don't need another.
Damn missed out, great deal!
Btw there's still other colorways available!
Looks like there's currently two in stock
Picked one up, thank you!
Nice one!
Nice. Ordered one last night. Now, which one goes from the herd to make room!!🎸🎸🎸
Thanks OP, purchased last night, but also saw this today…wondering if I jumped too early:
https://www.fender.com/en-AU/electric-guitars/telecaster/jv-…
The Japanese Vintage Modified '50s Telecaster looks like a cracker, it comes with a deluxe gig bag too.
when i looked an hour ago there was 5 or so, looks like it is sold out now..
The MiJ Traditional '60s Telecaster is 50% off as well
Same with the MiJ Traditional '60s Stratocaster
Matching set!
Agree. I haven't played a JVM tele before but they sound great from the videos I've watched.
I was actually planning on picking up a Squier Jaguar over the new year and road test some guitars, however the Meteora worked out the same price as a Squier so it was a no brainer. However if any of the MIJ, Vintera, or Kurt Cobain jaguars come on sale…I might have to make a panic call to Fender to see if I can change the order.
Also it looks like they keep adding guitars and basses to their Black Friday sale, up to 50% off if you wanted to update this deal, or add it as a new deal.
Thanks again OP
You can't go wrong with the Meteora for $899.50, you just might end up with a few more guitars!
@stickymoo: True, and will I also have all the time in the world to play them after my other half sees the invoices haha.
OOS
Not received yet, tracking also seems quite minimal
I found tracking info pretty streamlined too.
Mine was with FedEx/TNT, so your package should be safe and arrive pretty quickly.
My experience so far with this…Although it shipped out on 28 Nov, it only arrived Mon 9 Dec. Apparently TNT attempted to deliver it to my house but no one was home…they also didn't leave a note. I was home most days and I also have doorbell camera. They definitely never showed up, it's probably been stuck in a drivers van for a week. However credit to Fender for following up with TNT and getting it to me.
In terms of the guitar itself, it doesn't appear to have any grounding/wiring issues many people have reported. Quality and finish was excellent. I had mine QCd by 'Pedro'.
I have it booked in for a proper set-up and inspection (especially the wiring) in Jan.
I was a little nervous purchasing it without testing this model, however that quickly evaporated after I started playing it. Given it was built in July 22, the top two strings immediately broke. However the tone of the guitar is great, especially when set to the neck pick-up. It was a good purchase in the end.
What! That is a good deal!
