Allparts PRIMO body, Fender MIM Player II neck from Stratosphere, EMG Classic PJ, Gotoh bridge and tuners. Just needs a chrome control plate. It sounds and plays great!
The Nate Mendel price has gone up by an entire Sire V5. It's not the only one. Check out my full video on the Fender 2026 price hike shenanigans here: https://youtu.be/8SyQI89hX9Y
Bass is the Reverend Mercalli 5. Beat is something I made on the Akai MPC Sample from this old obscure Love Junkies song "growing good marijuana".
I'm going to be doing a video soon analyzing the price increases of these particular artist models. The data is pretty interesting. Before the big Feb 2026 increases, the pricing had been in line with inflation. An average of 32% increase in price for 2026 is pretty insane. The Mendel P went up $600! Yuck. Curious to hear what you all think.
Ffs was only rhinoplasty, chin contouring, and neck lift + lipo.
