They had iDea's and Celebrity's and Adamii and a Resonator and an iDea loaded in a TX...
Fender might not want to peddle a solid-bodied guitar that is obviously better than theirs. :p |

Location: south east Michigan | The Strat that Townshend uses onstage has an extra knob to blend in the acoustic modeling pickup in the bridge.
Not much of a strech to think that it the same one used in the VXT. |

I guess we'll just have wait and see!
Might end up with the right set of Seymour's in it if the setup is good. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Maybe it just wasn't very good marketing. They had a nice stand alone display at the local GC when they came out, but the GC kids couldn't find the right cord and then didn't know how to work the guitar. The sold 2 and the second one was clearance priced. |

People will be searching for them longingly in the future.
[I recently saw one sell on da bay for $427! :eek: D model with case, and I was broke] |
