I’ve had it in my mind to build one similar to this. But... you know... all leftee-fied.

Looks great. An older series set-neck Esquire with a P90 has turned into my ˋrock' guitar of choice as well.

I think the Fiesta Red and Vintage Blonde ones look better, but they're only available with maple boards, not Pao Ferro.

Looks good.
Compensated saddles - is that a first for a stock Fender?
£699.00 - that's only (about) $10 more than the USD price ($650).

I wonder what percentage of people buying this model already have plans on swapping that P90.

If it has a pickup, it will be swapped.
If it doesn’t have a pickup, it will be added.

NO TRUSS ROD.... What's up with that?? Looking at getting one. Finding out about that sort of thing makes a visit to the retailer necessary. I did not notice the lack of visible truss rod adjustment (well spotted) but reckon it will be a case of removing the neck. At least with my Tele there’s a different coloured piece of wood above the nut that hints at the possibility of adjustment. Edited to add “well spotted” |

I just wrote to Fender and got a quick response. I was asked why I thought that there was no truss rod. They said that it indeed has one. I explained that the pictures showed no skunk stripe or headstock adjustment. Waiting to hear back.

I explained that the pictures showed no skunk stripe or headstock adjustment. Waiting to hear back. The photo I posted was taken from the Fender website. The guitar in the PMT website also exhibits no signs of a truss rod. I’m 100% convinced that there’s a truss rod. |

Where is the skunk stripe? Are Fender trying to gauge interest before actually making any guitars? Is this just an elaborate Photoshop exercise? Peegoo will know! |

The PF Tele doesn't need a skunk stripe, because the rod can be inserted before the fretboard is glued on. Only one piece necks need a skunk stripe. But maybe you all already know this and I'm taking things too literally.

No maple skunk stripe. Solid neck, no truss rod?
