New @ CME | Fender American Vintage II Series

Fender’s new American Vintage II Series offers period-accurate appointments, plus meticulously voiced, year-specific pickups

Inspired by the essence of authentic craftsmanship from the Golden Age of electric guitar design, the new Fender American Vintage II series draws on over 75 years of innovation to bring today’s players the essence of Fender craftsmanship and tone.

Featuring period-correct bodies, necks, and hardware, plus premium finishes and specially voiced pickups for each year, the American Vintage II series highlights a dozen instruments from benchmark years when certain models came together—all of which have since been recognized by players, collectors, and historians as pinnacles of Fender instrument production.

AMERICAN VINTAGE II: Fender’s Historical Instrument Voices
