Hi... I'm trying to find an old thread but I'm having a hard time with the search because Fender keeps popping up for amps. There was a thread a good while back when Fender was first pushing a whole line of harmonicas. There was a link to pics of all of them and people were weighing in. The L.O. model and the Seydel model were easy to spot but people had pretty good guesses on all the models manufacturers. Questions keep popping up (right now I'm trying to answer someone on Reddit who lost their Fender Midnight, which doesn't seem to be available anymore, what brand might be the same harp, but I see the same sort of question frequently.)
Does anyone remember the thread or remember which models were made by who?
Here is a link to an out of stock Fender Midnight.

The pouch pictured in the ad makes me think it was a Seydel.

From memory, I think that Guitar Center was going to carry them. Try searching on Guitar Center and Fender: it might narrow the results.

I recall a thread about it but I don’t remember a model called midnight. I only remember the Deville and something else. But I’m likely misremembering because I wasn’t very interested when I realized they were rebadged.
How long ago was this? 2015, 2016?

Thanks guys. I suspect the broken links were what I needed. I pretty clearly remember a picture of the whole Fender line that people were using to guess which harps were which but the link in the link to fender goes nowhere now. I found pics of a couple though.
The Lee Oskar and John Popper signatures are clearly LO and Seydel. The Deville looks like it might be an Easttop. Guitar Center has the Midnight in stock in E and F but they want $99 for it! That makes me even more curious. It doesn't really have anything that screams one brand or another in the pic. I can't imagine what brand would run $99.
I was able to find pictures and prices for a few of the models.
Fender Hot Rod Deluxe (Probably Easttop) $20
Fender Hot Rod Deville (Probably Easttop) $45
Fender Blues Deville (Probably Easttop) $33
Fender Lee Oskar Signature (Lee Oskar)
Fender John Popper Signature (Seydel) $60
Fender Midnight Special (?) $99
Fender Blues Deluxe (Maybe Blues Bands?) $12 for 7!

Update... asked around (thanks BP) and figured out the Midnight Special is a Seydel. I should have read the whole description. Stainless steel reeds are a give away.
