I bought a new guitar today. It is from the Fender Alternative Reality Series. It is called the Sixty Six. It is a shrunken down Jazz bass body. Two tele pickups and a humbucker in the bridge. I have been reading about them for about 6 months but was never able to find one to play. Finally, I found three at the Guitar Center in Hollywood today. I spent about an hour playing them and I really liked them. They have chunky necks and the pickups sound good.
They had a three-tone burst that they had on sale for $649. They had the other two colors (natural and light blue) at the standard price of $899. They wouldn't negotiate in the store on the other two colors. The 3 tone burst was a lot heavier than the other two and didn't play as well. So when I got home I called Guitar Center and I was able to talk them into selling me a Natural colored one for the $649. I will have to wait a few days to get it, but I am happy to saved the $250. This is my first off the shelf new guitar in a very long time. Looking forward to it.
