Fender Vintera Telecasters
I really want one of these now. Which is your favorite? I’m torn between Vintera 50s in Fiesta Red and the Vintera 50s Modified in Daphne Blue.
The Red Special
Queen guitarist Brian May talks about The Red Special, which he built with his dad, and which he has used as his primary guitar all these years. Wow. Not even refretted.
New Fender American Original Series Unboxing
Fender just replaced the long-lived American Vintage series with this new American Original series. Watch below as these guys unbox and play all the new guitars. Which one is your favorite?
Julian Lage
Heard Julian Lage for the first time this week. Wow. Definitely check out his stuff. Here he is playing ‘Roger the Dodger’ from his upcoming album, Modern Lore. Hear him play a vintage Strat after the jump.
New Ed O’Brien EOB Sustainer Fender Stratocaster
Check out this cool new Strat from Fender. Designed by Ed O’Brien from Radiohead, this Strat is packed with cool features. And since it’s made in the Ensenada factory, the price is reasonable, too. Looking forward to checking one out. Be sure to read the interview with Ed O’Brien at Music Radar.
