I've got an old Fender MKI & MKII. Both gone thru extensively and cleaned/refurbed/brought back up to specs. Actually I tried the new ones and just.... don't feel it. I mean, it's good but the old ones still have the TONE exactly where I want it whereas the MK7 is just too 'moderny' for me...

Maybe the MK7 needs time to sit and oxidate its tines to get that smooth tone... dunno. Maybe it needs to be broken in like a car or piano..... dunno.
