I bought the Fender 1960 American Vintage 11 3- tone Sunburst P- Bass in November 2022, directly from Fender. It's truly amazing, its tone growls, and it has Fender Round Wounds on it. I bought the Fender Rumble 100 Amplifier, and together they're perfect. Great C - Shaped neck, very comfortable. I highly recommend this line to anyone looking to buy an expensive Vintage Fender for way less money. I paid $2,099.99 and it was set up perfect right out of the box. You won't regret it, they're super high quality Instruments from Fender.

Those sounds absolutely awesome. I cant wait to try them, but this is the range to hunt down for me. Not paying money for loads of unimportant customshop stuff, but getting all that matters. The 51 Tele and 62 strat are absolut dream Fender gutiars for me. The differences between your guitars were more audible with Teles. Kris has very specific sounding guitar with his trademark uppermid push, that you can recognize from miles appart. While Guills were veeery similar. Id say Guills strat was bit sweeter sounding. The Vinteras sounded good, but jumping to Vintage 2 was like getting new glasses. Not even close.

Excellent, very well-articulated and communicated review. I'm also hearing a lot of good things about the American Vintage II series.

What is the weight difference between a typical mahogany-bodied Telecaster and a standard ash model?

I'm a lefty in the U.S., and I was able to score both of these guitars in the last couple of weeks for ridiculous prices on the used (yes, I said used) market. I was shocked that they're already available on the used market, but I made a $1K offer on a 51 Tele posted on Reverb a few weeks ago, and it was accepted. It still had the tags and the plastic on the neck pickup. Then, just a few days ago, again on Reverb, I made a $1k offer on a 61 Strat, and again, it was accepted. They're both AMAZING guitars. I currently own a 52 AVRI Tele and a 50s AO Tele, and while the 51 is super-nice, my personal, completely arbitrary ranking would be: 1) AVRI; 2) 51 AV II; and 3) 50s AO. The neck profile on the AVRI is just so, so nice. As far as Strats are concerned, this is my first (after 33 years of playing). I'm sold. It's just an amazing guitar with so, so many tonal options. When I received it, it needed a little bit of TLC; namely, there was no tension on the truss rod at all, and the neck had a significant dip. I tightened it up, though, and then dialed in the string height and intonation, and now it plays like butter. Just an amazing guitar. All of that is to say, I love this new RI series. I wish that Fender made them all available lefty. I'd give my right nut for a left handed AV II 77 Custom.

Great demo and agree with much of your comparisons such as between the Vintage 2 to CS Tele as opposed to the differences between the Vintage 2 Strat vs CS although that could be down to a number of factors and not just each guitar sound wise, but you guys are holding them so would know more about the feel etc. However would just wish to point out that American Vintage Reissues first appeared from around 1982 which were most definitely gloss nitrocellulose up until at least the early 2010’s as I own a few (I can’t comment on the Original series) guitars and basses. I also own a Team Built CS Jazz bass, which are quite different (not just Master or Custom built) from all American Vintage Reissues in that they have quartersaw necks and Custom Shop parts not simple Pure Vintage parts…..pickups etc

Hey Mike, apparently yes, it's full nitro. At least that's the only info you find and it's pretty clear. Gloss nitrocellulose lacquer can only be one thing: a buffed (=glossy) nitro finish.

What do they mean by these are custom shop specs? Custom shop is whatever you want it to be. Your paying for the guitar to be made either by a master luthier or by team built.

Don't understand what Fender switches their vintage lines. I own a early 2000s AVRI 57 Stratocaster, which is basically the same model as the new AV2. Now, after the American Original line, which brought some modern specs to the vintage line (9.5 fretboard radius) is discontinued they switch it to the AV2 with period correct specs, just like the old AVRI. The AVRI had, as far as I concern, the same specs. They were also finished with a nitrocellulose lacquer and feel like a vintage instrument. Don't get me wrong the new AV2 series are great guitars with great tone. But I don't understand the craze about the new series, as it is just the same line as the old AVRI series.

These are nice and I'm glad Fender brought this series back. However, these don't quite match the details or build quality of the American Vintage guitars of 2012-2017. The previous '12-'17 AVRI were 100% thin skin Nitrocellulose (sealer as well), clear Nitro lacquered neck and headstock instead of this vintage tint, a better quality case and plenty of "case candy" (strap, cable, cloth, ect). Even the advertising was better. I feel like these new ones are a step above the Vintera Series, but not quite knocking on Custom Shop's door level of detail as before. I'd rather have a '59 or '65 Strat from the previous batch of AVRI

Yes those AVRI models from 2012-17 were amazing. No idea how they compare to this new series but I managed to get used black 56 strat and a 52 tele at vintera prices!

You guys have it all wrong. This new series has a poly undercoat like the previous series Originals. The America Vintage series from 2012 to 2017 has a true nitro flash coat which is just like custom shop. The vintage one’s were the most period correct guitars fender ever made even more so than custom shops.

Hi, the official info from Fender is this: "Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer Finish" That's a pretty straight forward statement and I'm pretty sure they still use the flash coat type nitro, since that dries really fast. Cheers //Kris
