The last week has been a week of highly limited-run guitars (FOMO Week?), and we’re taking a look at some of these online-only announcements. Starting with the Fender blink-182, Mark Hoppus limited-run Stoned Fruit Jaguar Bass. Gibson also announced a highly limited-run of Tom Petty Flying Vs! Finally, MXR has a new tuner pedal, and it is super accurate.

Stoned Fruit Jaguar Bass
This Fender Stoned Fruit Jaguar Bass is a highly limited-run model for Mark Hoppus, as it was announced as being available for only 184 hours and only via the Fender online store.
It has the same offset style and specifications as the 2024 model, just in this limited finish.
Blink & You’ll Miss It!
This model for the blink-182 bassist comes in a Guava Green finish and has a logo on the headstock that reads “Jag”, and not Jaguar. Priced at $1,499 each, thankfully they threw in a packet of stickers to decorate it with, as if not, it might be considered a tad expensive.
One for the fans?
The bass is pretty much aimed squarely at the band’s fanbase, and so may not appeal to everyone. This latest craze among manufacturers of releasing limited-run signature-model guitars and basses is pretty much what sums up FOMO in 2026.
Tom Petty Flying V
Gibson was at it as well, with its announcement of 250 (50 of each finish) Tom Petty Flying V models. Again, these were exclusive online only guitars, and they came in five finishes: Graphite Metallic, Heartbreaker Red, Pearl White Metallic, Pelham Blue, and Gainesville Gold.
Tom Petty
I have seen images of Tom Petty playing lots of different guitars, and I would imagine he had many in his lifetime. However, the Flying V is not a guitar that I would associate. with the late guitarist. Priced at $2,799 each, these models also came with an exclusive truss rod cover for the run.
They all sold out, and so it looks like fans of the Flying V and Tom Petty may have purchased all of them.
Or maybe collectors and scalpers got here first? Time to go check the listings on your local online auction site.
MXR Turbo Tuner
Finally, the new Turbo Tuner is a collaboration between MXR and Sonic Research. We all know guitar tuners are a dull subject, but out-of -tune guitars are far worse! This is (I believe) MXR’s first tuner pedal, and they went for a fancy one with this release.
But why should you spend $150 on a tuner?
Gold Standard Tuning Accuracy
This tuner has super-accurate tuning and an LED ring easy-to-read display to show you when the string has hit the correct pitch. It offers a real-time strobe tuner readout using these LEDs and has 5 user presets, so it does the job well.
Bypass Options & More
That’s the boring bit, as it does the job so well that you’ll feel super confident when playing. This tuner also has switchable true/buffered bypass, USB-C connectivity (for updates etc.), and a 9V power-through to power other pedals.
I may sound cynical, but it is actually a really well-thought-out product. I just cannot get excited by tuner pedals. You may love a good tuner pedal, so this could be exactly what you are looking for.
