I think the list price is the same as the other Road Worns. I wish Fender would formally announce them and put pics on their website. Also, the machine heads and hardware had a cooler design than the 50's & 60's Road Worn. I've seen Custom Shop Relics with that same hardware. It was $900….

They don't have a listing for it on the Fender website, but I loved it. Same type great feeling neck as my Road Worn 60's Strat. I hope its not a one of a kind, so I can pick one up at my local store in the next few months.

Well, I completely agree about Piezos in general –– "quacky" is the last thing I want my acoustic to sound like, but I'm willing to forgo conclusions until I hear one of these in person. I absolutely love the look though. For my part, I've moved to a Schertler Dyn-g for my Martin, and I freakin' love it... now *that's* the way an acoustic should sound when amplified! Hah!

They even sound bad on real acoustic guitars. Line6 does a reasonable job making their acoustic Variax sound like real wood, but piezos on their own sound like all steel and no wood. I have the Fishman bridge system on my Nashville Power Tele, and its OK for blending a super clean tone with a dirty one, but that's about it. This is a gimmick. Want to get a good acoustic sound....mic a real one. Piezos sound terrible…especially for acoustic “emulation.” They even sound bad on real acoustic guitars.
