The black one has a built in fuzz.

I have one. I think they're awesome. The fuzz makes more sense than that tremolo that's on the six.Playing chords sounds much nicer and metal players should love it as well.

Looks like Fender is using a Gibson style stop-bar and tune-o-matic combination. Wouldn't have thought Fender would resort to their longest running competitor for guitar designs!

Yes I get your drift Owen, I went to college with a guy from Birmingham, England and he used to get a kick out of guys who had the nickname Roger. He said you just didn't hear that nickname much in England because of the connotation.

Roger Daltry was poked fun at?

I think the name itself is definitely for the Japanese market only.
http://www.engrish.com shows tons of Japanese products with what would be inappropriate names in the English-speaking world.
