You're talking about a discontinued model, which is ridiculously irrelevant for discussion in this case.
Made in the late 90s and no longer in circulation, unless you buy 2nd hand. It's not even listed on the Fender site anymore. They were hardtails, and that was done to emulate those on the late 50s that emerged on only one colour at that time.
Yes, it was "MIA", but it's the same MIA type as the Highway 1, and honestly? That's not exactly MIA. It was mainly marketing hype.
So you'd bring a discontinued model into discussion for argument's sake instead of keeping the subjects current and relevant?
It's like saying the old Fender bullet rules over the current Squier bullet... Damn!
1) threadstarter started this thread asking about AMERICAN TRADITIONAL guitars. he specifically wanted to know if he bought a american traditional, is it equivalent to a mim standard.
2) i offer him advise based on what i know about AMERICAN TRADITIONAL. that basically american traditional is mim body/neck with squier hardware
3) you then come in and mistake/associate/liken the AMERICAN TRADITIONAL to be AMERICAN VINTAGE REISSUE. seriously i don't know how any cockanathan can mistake american traditional to be american vintage reissue. noob maybe?
4) you then blast what i said about AMERICAN TRADITIONAL. dismiss what i said as "bullshit", all the while describing the american vintage reissue as though they are american traditional. making a whole show of your fender knowledge without realising that you missed the point entirely, with totally irrelevant points that don't help the threadstarter, cos he obviously didn't ask about vintage reissues. and what you said will only serve to confuse him further cos any person reading your post will think american traditional = american vintage reissue = good
5) i tell you to relax and calm down. i point out to you that i'm talking about american traditional and not vintage reissue which i dunno how you draw the association to cos they are entirely different stuff.
6) then you being the so called "expert" in your fender stuff comes up with sarcasm and rolling of eyes, asking what is american traditional sarcastically.
7) bewildered that an "expert" like you don't even know about it after all the bravado about your vintage reissue, i suggest you go read up on it before embarrassing yourself further.
8) you then obviously went to do some reading up of american traditional, which is good
9) but you still continued to embarrass yourself further. saying discussing about american traditional is totally irrelevant for discussion when you are the one who is making posts that are totally irrelevant to this discussion in the first place.
10) you say i bring a discontinued model in for "argument's sake"? good grief. threadstarter himself asked about this discontinued model, i provided the answers, simple. you are the one who brought in an entirely different line of fender guitars just for argument's sake (think: ironic!) and not helping threadstarter at all! in fact you only serve to confuse him further, cos he may think american traditional = american vintage reissue.
11) you say i'm like saying the old fender bullet rules over the current squier bullet, guess what, its you yourself and no one else who fits into this analogy.
so if you don't know what shit you are talking, shut up. don't act smart. when people ask you to relax after you fumble so as to save you from further embarrassing yourself, you relax. you don't take it as a sign of weakness on the other party's part and still try to "salvage" your lost ego and mistake by exerting more irrelevant knowledge and continuing that stupid silly assholic "holier than thou mightier than you" stinky attitude.
