NEW Fender American Vintage II Guitars - Authentic Fender Craftsmanship!

[@Dubbroo]

i cant believe they've added fiesta red to the strat line up. insane stuff. whoever got that approval at fender deserves a raise.

[@jaypeterson7637]

They may have channeled the late George Fullerton!😉🙂

[@Paul_Lenard_Ewing]

@@jaypeterson7637 They may have talked with the now retired Trev Wilkinson. In the last 4 years Leo was alive he spent every morning with him working on new ideas and talking about old ones. Leo kept ALL his notes from day one in a drawer in his shop. Trev read them all. He helped me build a 53 Tele II ....Yes before the Strat was made Leo thought there would be a Tele II ...1/2 the back half of the Tele but double cut with the bass horn looking Strat and no treble horn or really the shape of the much later Fender Jazzmaster. The head-stock was shaped like the Strat but it was the same size as the small Tele one. I had the prototype made. It is in Fiesta Red.

[@jaypeterson7637]

@@Paul_Lenard_Ewing Sounds like a terrific guitar! I mentioned George Fullerton because my 2 younger brothers went to George's home to interview him. George and his wife were about to have lunch, so my brothers were invited to dine with them. George talked at length about the genesis of the Fiesta Red color. I would have loved to been there and listen to George reminisce!

they are certainly different which is what I think makes them interesting.

I don't know why there was never an attempt to create a Robert Smith Jazzmaster signature.

[@iceman10129]

It may be a Squire, but I'd argue that the J Mascus is one of the best bang for your buck guitars out there. It certainly would be cool to see them pick up in popularity. They deserve it.

[@glennmartin4232]

Fender have killed it with this range. The pick ups are toasty warm and very vintage. I played one yesterday and it was hard to put down. I don’t usually like maple necks but they have a nitro finish that feels great. Wow

[@cherrypickerguitars]

I’m such a Fender fan! At 64 yrs old, and 52 of them as a guitarist, I’ve only “fallen” for two Gibson’s - 60’s and 70’s (and many current) Firebirds - and, of course the 335 - 355 guitars. Otherwise all my electrics are Fender and Gretsch. (My acoustics are Martins and old Guilds) These new American built axes tempt me! And I only have three USA Fenders - the other six are all Fender Japan! All are Tele’s, Jazzmaster’s and those crazy short scale Jags! (I’m in BC Canada) As a guitar repair guy, and a builder of flat top acoustics and carved top mandolins, I’ve literally owned 100’s of instruments, maybe over a thousand! lol (but true) I’m a big big fan of the Captain and the Dane! Cheers! - from a high mountain valley in the interior of “super natural” BC Canada!

[@JD-rv7sf]

I played one today, the 50s strat and the V shape neck was sublime.

[@ryangunwitch-black]

I'm so thrilled they're doing 7.25" boards. And nitro lacquer.

[@Roberto-nm8sw]

They're magical.

[@rolux4853]

Exactly! It bothers me so much when vintage "inspired" instruments have the wrong radius! If you want the whole vintage packet you want the original fretboard radius, even if some people think it´s unplayable... I have weird short but thick fingers with kinda big second joints which makes playing very flat fretboards very unpleasant for me, because my joint is prohibiting me from pushing down correctly all strings. Single strings are fine of course but multiple are annoying. the more rounded radius is amazing for my hands! I even love it in P basses in combination with a nice thick baseball bat neck!

[@hgostos]

I'm with you!

[@JunkfoodZombieGuns]

Before I played a soft V neck, the description did not sound appealing to me. Then, I got my hands on one and I absolutely Love it. They feel SO good.

Not for me I'm afraid, tried one on the slash j45 and vintera, however give me the 50s necks, started out on bass so I'm right at home

[@ullr1159]

Same - the Jimmie Vaughan signature has a soft V and it’s just perfect. 👍

[@rick00770]

The 57 Strat is for me. I remember that style playing so good. Fast and smooth. So glad these came out. Got to have one, I’m a big Clapton fan from across the water here, I got to have that 57. Great review friends. They’re all awesome. 😊

[@twlowe19]

I ordered a 2006 custom shop Clapton that I initially loved, but wound up not playing it all that often, and just this year sold it off and got a brownie 57....that ive been playing a lot more! The necks are very similar, but the Claptons were a bit better with no glossyness. But the 57 grew on me and now I love it. What I really love is the open natural sounding pickups versus the somewhat sterile noiseless pickups. Frankly its so good that I don't miss the treble cut and db boost anymore. Claptons brownie, for that matter, was way closer to this model. In the end, I have to say I like it better. Also bought the 51 Tele which is amazing as well.

[@charliekay9080]

As a left handed guitar player, this is very exciting times!

[@gavinleyfield3195]

Perfect. If you want a vintage vibe fender and you can’t afford or don’t want to drop 4k on a custom shop, these are awesome.

[@Zhaggysfaction]

That natural strat with rosewood fretboard and large 70's headstock is my absolutely favourite strat look ever. That with a hardtail bridge and it would be my dream guitar.

[@chunkuswumpus3515]

I'm sure you could block off the trem or get a hardtail

[@Zhaggysfaction]

@Timdoeswork I know I can block the trem and that's what I would do but It would be better if it didn't have the unnecessary moving parts that I don't want and need. Also I just get a kick out of strats with no tremolo.

[@Zhaggysfaction]

@Timdoeswork I know many if not most of the trem systems and stabilizers, I have for example the Super Vee Blade Runner with their Mag-Lok stabilizer and and a custom build 7 string with Floyd Rose and their trem stop. Although they do give good stability, none give, obviously, the same stability than a fixed bridge does. And as I said about the moving parts, now there would be the tremolo system AND the stabilizer. Just an ease of mind kinda thing. And I have build myself, among others, a hardtail reverse strat which is fantastic. I have considered Warmoth build, well, I have several other Warmoth builds in mind. I definitely don't need the Fender on the headstock, but sometimes it's needed for futile phsycological reasons. Like if I want a Yngwie Strat or Zakk Wylde Les Paul, then it just has to be a Fender or Gibson with all the pros and cons that they have.

[@_vixen_4504]

i get you the 70's strats in natural are beautiful. I played a great one from 77 once but it was with a maple neck and with a tremolo but that thing sounded so good.

[@Zhaggysfaction]

@parallax3d No, I will not. But thanks for the request.

You live in the USA or at least England right? If you´d live in Germany I´d lend you a Guitar and an Amp (nothing fancy, but a very nice to play Squier Classic Vibe and a little Marshall transistor amp) as long as you need it to get back on your feet. Whenever you´d be ready (doesn´t matter if it would take years) and you can get your own stuff again you can give it back. I would of course also sell it to you after that period for a very reasonable amount if you like it. Unfortunately the distance is seperating us quite a bit.. I hope times soon get better for you and you make more money so you can take care of your family and still can afford your hobbies. But remember, the most important thing is being healthy and having a loving family (or loving and caring frieds)! Money doesn´t make you happy, it just gives extra comfort if you have more than your basic needs covered. If you need to talk to someone just reach out, the internet is full of kind strangers if you are sincere and looking in the right places :)

[@hgostos]

Now available to buy!

[@witnessesstudioshouston4487]

Hello peoples, It’s me Billie, I got my 57, the pickups are bright yes, but the perfect sound is when I put 10’s flat-wounds strings, now I’m over joyed, did I want the 61 yes, but v neck makes more vintage to me, 61 is close to the pro II, thank you so much gentlemen, would not know about how wonderful they are,

[@RobCabreraCh]

I adore the new 50 Hz video options that you guys are using. It's so smooth! Also, I am ordering one of those 63 telecasters! I have been wanting one for a few years, and this one ticks all the boxes! And yes, it's absolutely due to Dan that I want a cherry red telcaster with a rosewood fretboard.

[@BRAG450]

Man I feel like telecaster deluxe is such a slept on model. This one looks legit. I have the am pro 2 version and it plays fantastic and those fender humbuckers are very interesting since they can still get those nice jangly fender cleans and with gain they can sound massive.

[@phildohogne1970]

NAMM show in the 70's Leo came up to the Legend booth and tilted a Legend amp on an angle and looked at it for about ten minutes- all the while the owners were probably not breathing- Leo looked up at them and said, "nice job boys". Leo was constantly innovating and moving forward. I was sales manager of one of the first ten G&L dealers and he and George Fullerton were all over their company. They are probably watching your show right now and wondering why everyone isn't building better guitars than they were building in their 15 year magic period? Or, are they?

[@sjazzp]

Those designs were so amazing that the guitar industry got stuck on them. I reckon Leo and George never expected that after 70 years, most manufacturers are still copying Teles and Strats and JM

[@ronvanhee]

my american vintage 52tele is amazing, happy they brought it back so others can enjoy it too..

[@terryenglish7132]

I have one as well. I liked the neck so much I bought a '51 neck for a project guitar thinking it might be the same. It is a little different, its a bit more beefy than the '52; so similar, but different..... BTW I'm not a parallel fan as a player , so I put in a 4 way switch w both series combos. Grounded Neck thru Bridge is clearer w better bass and treble while ground Bridge is slightly muddier emphasising the mids a little more, w a slightly stronger output. This is the general case for most Tele sets. Fender uses the Bridge thru Neck on models w 4 ways because otherwise you need a separate ground for the plate and the difference isn't huge. I do use both, but either series would be a good addition for a 4 way w parallel in the mix.

[@ClintCurtis]

Vintage voiced instruments sound best with a hair of gain on it. They are usually lower output, but are very dynamic on lower to medium gain settings. Notice how the 51 Tele and the 57 Strat come alive with the pedals.

[@GuitarLessonsBobbyCrispy]

I've always wanted a Fender Telecaster to add to my collection. Has that really cool country sound.

[@markbock3027]

Minor historical correction to what Lee was saying - the American Vintage series actually came out in the early ‘80s and continued until a few years ago when it was replaced by the American Original series. Over the years Fender offered different AV models recreating specific years, and specs on them were much closer than the more generalized American Originals. I have an AV ‘62 P-bass that’s very close to the actual early-‘60s P-basses I’ve had the chance to play. And the early Fullerton-built AV instruments are now very sought after and command high prices in their own right.

[@kevinjamison123]

Greeting from across the pond. You guys are awesome. In the early days, the fingerboard radius was all over the place. They were all hand shaped and varied greatly. 7.5" was the most common, but I have played old Teles close to a 9.5" radius that still had the original frets. Can't wait to try this series out.

I am not a Purist. Give me a 9.5" radius, medium jumbo frets, a soft V neck profile and modern noiseless pickups. I would run them through a Fender Deluxe Reverb ,... Tonemaster,... with my Boss GX-100 for effects. And I am a lot older than these two guys.

[@elmorejames6867]

I get that, but fender already offers lots of new guitars with noiseless pups, 9.5” radius and med jumbo frets. I think it’s refreshing they went back to the roots, honestly not sure why they discontinued the last vintage series in the first place

[@johninama585]

1973 Strat in natural with a maple one-piece neck would be my choice, sadly Fender didn't give me that choice. When I was a kid and first getting into guitar, my local shop had a used one just like that. It's why I'm such a fan of the large headstock, too. This one had a custom union jack pickguard (yes I'm from the US). I wanted it so bad but I was like 13 years old and had no money. I probably could have got it at the time for about $200. I should have tried harder (read: been more annoying) with my parents to get it.

I got a 52 . It really is a great guitar to mod. And easy. I replaced the neck with a Stumac Les Paul standard. It was quite tricky but if you replace the slot head screws with a single 3" coach bolt( you will need a bigger hole) you could probably do it without even using glue which will help preserve the vintage sound . I'm going for a Ted Nugent - Andre Segovia vibe so l'm going to string it with flat wound nylons.

52 what? There’s no 52 in the Vintage II range. You mean you put a Les Paul neck on one of these guitars? Why would you do such a thing?🤦🏼‍♂️

What in the world??? This has to be a troll.

Brilliant video and oh yes, that 61 Strat… Made me consider selling body parts to get my undeserving mits on one. Sadly I’d have to sell body parts as I can’t afford or justify one. However, let’s not end on a negative note. Perhaps a lottery ticket is in order… Until then a dream guitar perhaps… *update* I had a bit of a think and did a little digging around. If you were to go to Guitar Center and purchase one of the 61 Strats it would set you back $2099.99 if you take that figure and convert it into GBP you have a price that's only £7 less than the Andertons price. Now when you consider that US sales tax is only 4 - 7% so not much to take off the export price. Now add on shipping and importation costs and 20% VAT. In short it all suggests to me that Andertons have a fantastic price. It might still be a lot of money for some people, including me, but a round of applause for Andertons please.
