On the guitar sky, Fender`s star is one of the brightest and it continues to shine through years and decades, never fading and never setting behind the horizon. Acoustic guitars, electric guitars, basses, name it, Fender`s got it. For over six decades, fender keeps up the image of an all-round brand with models which started the electric revolution and the ones made to carry the flame further on, side by side in the catalog. This time, Fender is introducing the Dimension, a line of solid electric basses, which have one of the heaviest tasks in the history of electric instruments, to take the flag from Precision and Jazz and carry it on into the future. American Deluxe (American Deluxe Dimension IV Bass, American Deluxe Dimension V Bass, American Deluxe Dimension IV Bass HH and American Deluxe Dimension V Bass HH) and Deluxe series models (Deluxe Dimension IV Bass and Deluxe Dimension V Bass) redefine what the words "upscale" electric bass mean. Also, a California series Sonoran SCE Wildwood IV and Fender Custom Shop Michael Landau Signature 1968 Relic Stratocaster models are being introduced.
