This week, IK Multimedia captures three ultra-rare museum grade JTM 45s from the vaults of British blues-rock history, Jackson finally drops Wes Borland's official signature King V with one pickup and zero apologies, and Morley teams up with DOD for a glow-in-the-dark wah-octave-fuzz triple threat called the WTF. Plus, my Pick of the Week goes to Harley Benton for fixing a cosmic injustice and dropping a roasted maple superstrat that has no business costing โฌ160.
Let me know what your Pick of the Week is in the comments down below.

![This Mexican Fender CRUSHES Fender USA | Vintera II Roadworn
The Fender Vintera II Road Worn โ50s Jazzmaster is here, and it might just prove Fender Mexico is outbuilding Fender USA. This limited edition offset comes lightly relicโd straight from the factory with vintage specs and a nitro finish. If youโre wondering whether to skip Squier and go straight for the real deal, this review shows you exactly what to expect.
In this video I unbox the Vintera II Road Worn Jazzmaster, test it through Fender and Marshall amps, and dig into the rhythm circuit, pickups, and build quality. I compare it to Squier offsets, open it up to see the guts, and push it from surf tones through grunge fuzz. Fender say this model is road worn, not relicโd into oblivion, and the result is a guitar that feels broken-in yet rock solid. If youโve ever doubted Jazzmasters or been burned by cheaper models, this one might change your mind.
