I love my Classic, think it is drool-inducing beautiful, but that #201 Classic is one of the most awesome looking guitars on the Planet!! Can't keep my eyes off it!! All I can say is that I'm glad I have a Blues Queen in the oven right now and have a Classic to keep me occupied [almost impossible to put down]. Leo Fender would be 100 years old if he were alive today. Somehow I gotta believe he's around, tipping his hat to on Mr. Chuck Thornton for raising the bar on what was already the gold standard in solidbody guitars, the Tele. Chuck, you have once again amazed me with his workmanship and ingenuity. Leo was truly "da man" of the 20th Century Guitar World; but you have no second for "da man" of this 21st Century, Chuck. Long may you live and long may you continue to raise the bar. Classics RULE!! Have Mercy!!

Any Fusion changes since the last batch? Are the tuners locking? Can you make any comments on switching from the Fralins to the Lollar "dirty blackface" pickups. I don't know much about Lollar. Have you ever heard or considered J.M. Rolph pickups, which sound really good? What is the trem block metal composition. Bob Chuck–

What are the guitar weights for 0204,0201,, and 0203? Any Fusion changes since the last batch? Are the tuners locking? Can you make any comments on switching from the Fralins to the Lollar “dirty blackface” pickups. I don’t know much about Lollar. Have you ever heard or considered J.M. Rolph pickups, which sound really good? What is the trem block metal composition.
