I guess I’ll put this one here…
(I did not check the price… probably better not to check…)

Saw that one the other day. It’s interesting that it exists, but I don’t find it compelling.

the thing about instruments like this, for me, is the implementation. all these innovations, do they make the instrument better? or are they just gimmicks? and I’m taking a lonnggg look at all those unreachable useless frets.

Don’t dig fender’s current business model of rehashing existing guitars and overpriced signature models. Even still, the tele bass in in sunburst would be hard to resist for me.

To be fair, between Jackson, Charvel, Gretsch, and Squire they have a few interesting things going on. The Squire Rascal is outside the norm. They do stuff just not generally under the Fender label

Not usually a weird-shape body or headless fan, but there’s something about this I dig. Seems like it would be fun to play. 34 inch, 24 frets. Under 8 lbs.

Both, and depends, lol. That Spock base is crazy light and you can have the mesh surface printed with anything you like.
That’s simply a Fender reissue.
The Paranormal series is both cool and also tragically sad that those are what Fender sees as weird, unusual instruments (instead of simply being what they are; very standard instruments just outside the Fender box).

Really? I know of the Mustang Pawn Shop model with a wide range humbucker, and the Telecaster model with a pair of wide range humbuckers in a very different positioning, but I’m unaware of a short scale version with two wide range humbuckers. Not arguing just curious. Time to go look

Pickups are different, but here is the ‘original’ Rascal design.
I was looking at them for a while, and think I sent you a link.
Different, yes, pickups for sure.
I’m getting old. My head was focused on the pickups. Sorry.
But yeah, different pickups, different bridge, the Fender Rascal had a Guild Starfire bridge, and the Squire has a Fender Mustang bridge.
