Are these in store yet over there? Anyone seen one, played one or got a street price on one? They look very nice. Real challenger to the big Genz Benz Shenandoahs.
The Ultralight Jazzmaster looks real interesting too.

So that would be a "No" then.

Didn't want you disappointed by the masses :( , so I looked around.

Here's what I found: The Fender website lists the MSRP for the head at $928.50 and the cab at $499.99. I haven't seen them on the street anywhere, but I found one place on line that has them for $650 and $350 respectively. I gotta' wonder... $1100 for the pair? :eek: Seems steep compared to the rest of the acoustasonic line!

I haven't seen 'em round here. There was a couple of threads in rec.music.makers.guitar.jazz (I think that's the right group) about the Jazzmaster. I started reading, but had work to do that day, so I didn't make it past the first post. :\

I agree. You can get a decent PA system for that price.

Thanks guys - I had no idea what the difference between list and street was for Fender. It is expensive. It's not just that you can get a decent small PA for that kind of money - you can get a small mixer with way more than 2 inputs.
