Savages Gemma Thompson

While Thompson’s main ride is a 1966 Fender Duo-Sonic II, she used this equally vibey 1963 Fender Jaguar for “City’s Full.” She told us in a recent interview that she prefers gear from the ’60s because, “I like to know the instrument has character. I find that really important—that it’s got a history. I feel there’s something ingrained in the character of the instrument from that.”

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.
