Fender releases the none-more-offset Meteora HH
Meet the latest Alternate Reality electric guitar



Fender has released the latest electric guitar from this year’s Alternate Reality series, the Meteora HH.
The Meteora first appeared in a Tele configuration as part of last year’s Parallel Universe line, but this new model presents a more rock-orientated approach, with a pair of Player humbuckers providing the tones.
These can be adjusted via two volume controls and a push/pull tone control, which allows players to split the coils.
Other notable features include an alder body, Modern C-shaped maple neck with pau ferro fingerboard and 9.5” radius, plus an Adjusto-matic bridge with string-through body holes.



Three finishes are available for this offset oddball: Lake Placid Blue, Surf Green and Candy Apple Red, all with black scratchplates.
The Meteora is available now for $999/£859, including a deluxe gigbag. See Fender for more.
This follows Fender’s previous Alternate Reality releases, the Jazz Bass-styled Sixty-Six guitar and all-new Powercaster.
