The coil tap sounds like a coil tap like a ‘not as good single coil’-but the thickness of the neck pickup is pretty cool, personal opinion. It took some balancing to get the pickups right and there is of course a marked increase in volume when switching the the humbucker. For $749 plus tax, I would hope they could do a little bit better with it.Įdit: I sort of dig the untraditional neck humbucker/bridge single coil. I’ve played (and sold) hundreds of Fenders working at a guitar shop, and this one has the overall beauty, but I’m surprised it passed the quality control with simply the unfilled fret slots under the tang. ![]() Knobs that rotate off-axis/uncentered, a nasty vibration noise in the bridge when hitting an open D string, a chip taken out of the corner of the plastic part of the bridge pickup (how? It’s new!), etc. ![]() A BIG drip of glue on one of the frets-again, messy and should have been caught at the factory. 'We're here with the Shawn Mendes Foundation Musicmaster from Fender, and since he just put out a new record, what a perfect time to check. Fret slots cut too deep (not a ‘problem’ inherently) but some slots are filled and some are not (which I’ve never seen on any guitar, even a squier). The stylish electric six-string offers a fresh take on a. It’s pretty, for sure-but I strongly feel that Fender really dropped the ball on this one specific guitar. This is the Fender Shawn Mendes Foundation Musicmaster A beautiful small-bodied offset guitar with a floral printed pattern finish, an alder body. Shawn Mendes is teaming up with Fender Guitars for the creation of his own branded model the Shawn Mendes Foundation Musicmaster. ![]() I haven’t disassembled it, and due to numerous quality control issues I may be returning it for another one (or a refund if no more are available from Fender).so I’m going to keep it as unchanged as possible before I make that decision.
