Scottsdale, AZ (June 11, 2013) -- Fender is excited to announce a brand new series release for this upcoming summer season. Dubbed as the Satin Series, it comes as a fresh and warm addition to an already potent Fender line-up.
Through a whole new light, and wrapping in four remarkably beautiful satin urethane body finishes, the Satin Series adds a lively touch to the Standard Telecaster and Standard Stratocaster models. Available in new Flame Orange, Ocean Blue Candy, Arizona Sun and Blaze Gold, the Satin Series will be this summer’s can’t-miss guitar series.
For the Standard Stratocaster Satin, other features include an alder body, maple neck with “modern C” profile and satin urethane back finish, 9.5”-radius rosewood or maple fingerboard with 21 medium frets, three single-coil pickups with five-way switching, three-ply black-white-black pickguard and black plastic control knobs, and a vintage-style synchronized tremolo bridge.
Features for the Standard Telecaster Satin include, a Rosewood fingerboard with 21 jumbo frets, dual single-coil pickups with three-way switching, three-ply black-white-black pickguard and black plastic control knobs, and a six-saddle string-through-body bridge.

Keith Urban has spent decades traveling the world and topping global country-music charts, and on this episode of Wong Notes, the country-guitar hero tells host Cory Wong how he conquered the world—and what keeps him chasing new sounds on his 6-string via a new record, High, which releases on September 20.
Urban came up as guitarist and singer at the same time, and he details how his playing and singing have always worked as a duet in service of the song: “When I stop singing, [my guitar] wants to say something, and he says it in a different way.” Those traits served him well when he made his move into the American music industry, a story that begins in part with a fateful meeting with a 6-string banjo in a Nashville music store in 1995.
It’s a different world for working musicians now, and Urban weighs in on the state of radio, social media, and podcasts for modern guitarists, but he still believes in word-of-mouth over the algorithm when it comes to discovering exciting new players.
And in case you didn’t know, Keith Urban is a total gearhead. He shares his essential budget stomps and admits he’s a pedal hound, chasing new sounds week in and week out, but what role does new gear play in his routine? Urban puts it simply: “I’m not chasing tone, I’m pursuing inspiration.”
