Incredible that Ben writes the lyrics AFTER the song. His words are like stories, almost poems but wow.

I dig these Fender Tracks segments. Keep 'em coming, Fender! It would also be cool to hear some of the demos and stems that led to the final version of the song

"We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes" had some of the most beautiful guitar tones. I remember reading that Ben was using a Fender Bullet back in those days and I became obsessed with that guitar and trying to re-create that tone. This new signature model is so appropriate and I feel is the closest fender has come to recreating the Bullet. Really hoping I get to try one of these!

I like his updates, definitely some choice changes there. Hardly anyone who ever plays a Mustang ever uses the vibrato, though the out of phase switching was pretty cool. I like the rotary knob though - this sucker is a pure tone machine now without frills and I can dig that. Probably more sustain too having the bridge be fixed like that, love the sound of the pickups from the Fender video demo.

I have this guitar and I’m having trouble. It wasn’t completely soldered, I took on the job and thought I fixed the cracking noise but no luck. It seems like whoever was working on the assembly line didn’t know what they were doing. I mean the soldering job was extremely sloppy.
