Designed with key elements from the mid-1950s to mid-1960s, these instruments expertly preserve Fender's innovative legacy while showcasing its continuing evolution.

Today, Fender has cleared the slate and introduced a new and improved American Vintage series, complete with updated features, specifications, and an unparalleled commitment to vintage accuracy. Rather than simply replacing old models with new ones, we have meticulously re-imagined the entire vintage-reissue concept, using original tooling dies, new pickups, and reformulated vintage colors, all based on authentic vintage guitars that we personally tracked down and examined. Our dedication and attention to detail shine through in each and every new American Vintage instrument, imbuing them with pure tonal magic.
