Two standard guitars, one baritone guitar and one short-scale bass are refreshing and reinforcing the lines of the Pawn Shop series for 2013.
Fender`s Pwn Shop series has a very interesting motto: Guitars that never were, but should have been. Instead of making replicas and tributes to the most popular models in Fender history, this series deals with vintage-styled guitars which look as if they were made in '60s and '70s, but actually, were not. However, a part of this series is dedicated to the actual guitars and basses which were produced, but are now rare and seldom seen. Four models are being introduced for 2013: Pawn Shop Stratocaster Deluxe, Pawn Shop Bass VI, Pawn Shop Mustang Bass and Pawn Shop Super-Sonic. These four models have three different scale lengths. Super-Sonic is equipped with the shortest standard scale in Fender catalog, which measures 24 inches. Strat has it`s traditional 25-1/2" and Bass Vi and Mustang Bass have 30" scales.
Fender Pawn Shop Mustang Bass is a short-scale bass with a solid alder body. It features a classic Mustang body made of alder. It is paired with a bolt-on maple neck. Scale measures only 30" on this model, but the humbucker pickup in the middle position makes sure this mustang delivers a punch equally strong as it`s 34"-scaled siblings have. This one`s a four-stringer with 19-fret fingerboard made of rosewood. Also, it features a fixed bridge with string-through contour. Olympic White and Candy Apple Red color schemes have "Go Faster" stripes. Vintage-styled tuners are made by Fender and plated in chrome.

Fender Pawn Shop Bass VI is a six-stringer with 30" baritone scale. Even though it`s named Bass VI, it is actually a guitar with an elongated scale. It has a solid, double-cut Jazzmaster body and a number of distinctive Jazzmaster features. Bridge section is a classic two-piece from Jazzmaster line. Pickups come in H/S/S configuration with master volume, master tone and a five-position blade switch. Neck on this model is made of maple, it features standard C contour and it`s topped with a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard.

Fender Pawn Shop Stratocaster Deluxe is the third of four models represented in this article and it is equipped with a masterful fusion of Strat and Tele appointments. It has an alder-made Strat body, but many of the features around and on it are taken from the 1970s Telecaster models. Vintage-styled pickguard and neck position single coil pickup are most obvious fusion signs. Hardtail bridge is equipped with string-through construction and nickel/chrome plating. 22-fret fingerboard is made of maple and it`s installed upon the C-contoured maple neck.

Fender Pawn Shop Super-Sonic is a replica of an actual model. It was produced in the late 1990s as Squier Super Sonic and it was a quite popular short-scale guitar.

Dual humbucker combo in the pickups section features zebra coils and two volume knobs. There are no tone knobs for these pickups.
