We are introducing the Pro Series Modern models (dubbed M1 and M2) that really provide bang for the buck in terms of looks, features, tone and playability in a modern Floyd-equipped 24-fret guitar. These guitars are built for both for speed and tone. 
Here are three of the Pro Modern prototypes shown at NAMM:
M2 in Ice Blue Metallic
M1 in Copper Metallic (started as Orange Crush but doesn't look like it)
M1 in Gun Metal Gray
M1 has pau ferro fretboard with matching color headstock. M2 has the maple fretboard. All the Pro Moderns will have the non-gloss "soft touch" finish and this is where we can save a lot in labor (no buffing work required) and pass on the savings to the consumers. These will also have stainless steel jumbo frets.
Other basic specs:
Alder body
Maple neck with Pau Ferro or Maple fretboard
Modern Elliptical neck shape - .780-.830
1.650" nut width
Jumbo stainless steel frets
Gotoh Floyd locking trem system
Vol, Tone, 5-way
SSV humbucker in the neck
SSH+ humbucker in the bridge
Deluxe heavily padded gig-bag (hard-shell case would be an upcharge option)
Other colors: Purple Haze and Charcoal Web
The 5-way settings:
1 - Neck humbucker
2 - Outside coil of neck humbucker
3 - Both humbuckers
4 - Inside coils of both humbuckers
5 - Bridge humbucker
List price will be $2900 and the street price will be $1995. A custom version of this guitar with gloss finish (like the Mercedes Blue Metallic one that Guthrie has) would have a list price of $3600~3700 and the street price would be in the $2500~2600 range, so these Pro Moderns are a great value.
