Fender going all in on the blues dad market turning into a lovely ‘80s dad market.

I do like how there's no knobs at all. Actually, I kinda like it in general, except for the car stuff and the presumably ridiculous price. It looks a lot less like a strat than the average superstrat though, so the name is kinda dumb. But yeah, it's definitely marketed to 80's bluesdads...

It looks more like one of the Petrucci signature Music Mans than a Strat.

In all seriousness I'd love it if somebody could come up with some device you could retrofit to regular guitars that could swap the pickup selection with MIDI. Pressing one footswitch to change your amp channel, effects, and pickup selection at once would be amazing.

Music Man Game Changer is a digitally-controlled pickup switching system with MIDI input that let's you select individual coils, circuit order, and phase, amongst others. They only made it available in one guitar and one bass though - presumably because the world just didn't need a guitar with a thousand switching options. The Variax stuff had an option to interface with the POD HD (which was the flagship at the time) so it changed your guitar model/pickup as you selected different patches. I'm not sure if they brought that over to Helix but can't see why they wouldn't.

Did it default to Dumbass Mode with options exactly like a 3-way switch? If not I can see why it failed.

I saw something like this, I wanna say it was one of the guys from neurosis or some other post metal thing. It was a midi controlled box that switched between inputs, and the dude had separate outs for each pickup on his guitar. Can't remember the deets but I think it was on a rig rundown video.

Yeah the Music Man guitar was doomed to instant failure since it was available in one of their less cool looking bodies and was never expanded upon. I think it would have been cool if it could send and transmit CC data so you can control other MIDI gear with it, but that wasn't in the cards. If you have a two pickup guitar, just run a stereo Y cable from it, and then plug that into a loop switcher thingie that accepts MIDI. You wouldn't be able to do coil taps, but that's a much, much cheaper and accessible solution.

That’s a really good idea actually. Setup your guitar to accept TRS cables. Set the tip to be controlled by the pickup selector and the ring to always output the neck pickup. Plugging in a normal cable would make the guitar behave normally, plug in a TRS cable and select the bridge pickup with the pickup selector for “stereo“ pickup output, and select which pickup you want externally. The only real hitch I see in a design like this would be that each pickup would have to have its own independent volume and tone controls, like a Les Paul, for it to work. Still though, it could work.

Wasn't Schecter already doing something similar with some guitar that they had Active and Passive PUPS on the guitars and they worked/sounded fine without all that much additional weight?

I would probably set it up with a switch that either sends the pickups direct to a TRS jack or passes the signal through to onboard electronics. That way you can use a normal setup too. Then use a stereo Y cable that then goes to something like a Voodoo Labs GCX switcher. You can use some cables that would then change the phase if you want too. You would lose any onboard controls. But you could then route the signal into a Source Audio EQ pedal. That will let you do any volume shifts and tone shaping as well. I thought too much about this because I have a Yamaha Attitude bass that has separate outputs for each pickup.

Doesn't a Rickenbacker 4001 have separate outputs for each pickup? Of course, that's a somewhat niche bass and not a guitar...

All the deluxe series rickenbackers (360, 4003, 620/660, 381, a few others) have the Rick-o-sound circuit which is yes, stereo wiring. Basically it's just a mono socket and a stereo socket next to each other and you have to use a Y cable or one of their expensive breakout boxes to use the stereo socket. Primitive compared to the Music Man stuff but works.

I have no clue how non-wood guitars sound and feel, but I imagine they must be light at the very least. Also, are the pedals on the fender thing not just cosmetic? Because either way, I could definitely sell a custom pedalboard made to look like the floor of a car. I guess it would be a wah for the speeder, volume for the break and boost for the clutch?

Bunch of chuds in Facebook guitar land (about 90% of the population) are screaming “taxation is theft!!” until they burst a vessel over Reverb charging sales tax. It is kind of bullshit to not have a better framework for defining a business versus casual private sales but their reactions are, of course, totally unhinged and hilarious. Oh and some arbitrary and rather casual racism gets thrown in, naturally.
