NAMM 2018: Fender American Originals

Fender`s new American Original series comes in with some of the finest vintage guitars and basses, setting a new standard in the period-correct realm.

As a brand with huge history and tradition, of which every player wants a piece, Fender is bound to feature an abundance of vintage and history-oriented models and series. These series come in many forms, with some recreating particular models and the others paying homage to certain periods or even certain styles within the periods. Fender`s latest history-oriented series is named American Original. Its concept is of the latter type, with models sporting period-correct and period-reminiscent features. There are Strat, Tele, Jazzmaster, Jaguar, Precision and Jazz Bass models included. The six-string side offers American Original `50s Telecaster, American Original `60s Jazzmaster, American Original `60s Jaguar, American Original `60s Jaguar, American Original `50s Telecaster Left Hand, American Original `60s Stratocaster, American Original `50s Stratocaster, American Original `60s Stratocaster Left Hand, American Original `60s Telecaster, and American Original `50s Stratocaster Left Hand. The four-string section is fewer in numbers, but more than equal in quality it offers. New American Original bass models include: American Original `60s Precision Bass, American Original `70s Jazz Bass, American Original `60s Jazz Bass, and American Original `50s Precision Bass.
