Guitars, amps, and stomps we saw on our first day at the Anaheim gear show.

Fender

Fender's Exotic series includes this new American Professional Pine Telecaster. And it's hard not be intrigued about how that Lollar Charlie Christian pickup is going to sound in that light pine body (100 year old timber reclaimed from a Wisconsin furniture factory no less) blasting from an inappropriately loud Twin Reverb! Sign us up for the fireworks!

Fender’s American Vintage II Series

For these new recreations, Fender focuses on the little things that make original golden-era Fenders objects of obsession.

If there’s one thing players love more than new guitars, it’s old guitars—the unique feel, the design idiosyncrasies, the quirks in finish that all came from the pre-CNC era of instrument manufacturing. These characteristics become the stuff of legend, passed on through the years via rumors and anecdotes in shops, forums, and community networks.
