Fender's Vintera III: New Age Aesthetic Meets Vintage Vibes

Fender's Vintera III: New Age Aesthetic Meets Vintage Vibes

Fender Musical Instruments Corporation (FMIC) today announced the launch of the Vintera III Series, the next evolution of its acclaimed vintage-inspired lineup. Reimagined from the ground up, the highly anticipated range delivers meticulously crafted instruments that capture the defining sounds, aesthetics and feel of the early, mid and late ’50s, ’60s and ’70s.

“Usually when one band is on tour I’m working on writing music for the other one,” said songwriter and record producer, Nate Amos. “Lorelei and Water From Your Eyes both evolved to a point where they each have their own language. With the latter, something about that band seems to call for the Vintera III Jaguar. I think it’s maybe because of the floating tremolo system, but it feels a little bit more chaotic when you really go to town on a guitar like that.”

Designed for players seeking true vintage character, the Vintera III series introduces an all-new philosophy: a targeted focus on iconic moments in Fender history. This “greatest hits” approach highlights some of the most celebrated specifications from the company’s golden eras, giving musicians access to some of the most revered tones ever produced.

How Radiohead Changed the Sound of the Electric Guitar

How Radiohead Changed the Sound of the Electric Guitar

If you know Dan Steinhardt from That Pedal Show and The GigRig, you might also know he’s a huge Radiohead (and Oasis) fan! He’s even worked with the band (particularly Ed O’Brien) as a gear maestro. We hit up Dan to talk about all things Radiohead: how they changed the electric guitar, why Ed’s signature Strat is so awesome, and how they’re like Van Halen and The Beatles.

Tonewood Teardown: Pickups and Wiring for an Esquire-Style Electric

Two guitar pickups on a textured surface: one black with wires, one shiny silver with attached wires.

Hello, and welcome back to Mod Garage. This month’s installment in our “Tonewood Teardown” series will be the most important one, dealing with the electrified tone of our guitar. We’ll start work on the wiring, which is the key component of every electric guitar. I really like the analogy that the pickup is the heart, the wiring the brain, and the wires themselves the neural system of an electric guitar. This means we should take care to do everything as carefully as possible here.

Somatics, a field within body work, originated as a product of a cultural movement in the 18th century that focused on physical activity and strength-building. The principal element of somatics, which has gained prominence in the past decades in wellness culture and therapeutic contexts, is soma. On a surface level, soma is the perceived experience of the body, as distinct from the intellectual response to stimuli in your brain. The divide is easy to grasp. Maybe your brain thinks you’re at ease, but your body tells you something different: It’s tense, shaky, locked up. Our bodies can send us messages that our cerebrum might not be able to parse in the moment. The thought can be unsettling, but it can also be empowering, even invigorating, to acknowledge that the body can communicate in a way that defies conventional logic and easy explanation.
