Welcome to this special Fender® issue of inSync. We’re featuring a gaggle of the latest arrivals from Fender®.
StratLDMCRT (Fender®) New In Stock: The American Deluxe Stratocaster® is a traditional Fender® Strat® with a few important enhancements. It boasts a distinctive neck shape with rolled edges for fast and smooth handling, and a re-vamped tremolo system. This particular model is a lefty, but we have all kinds of American Deluxe Strats® in stock.
ModelFF, ModelCCE (Rodriguez) New In Stock: Rodriguez’ acoustic guitars are nothing less than works of art masquerading as instruments. They are almost entirely handmade, with no detail too small to merit attention. The Model C acoustic features a cutaway body and a state-of-the-art Fishman PRO Blend system for excellent response, balance and tonal adjustability. ModelFF is a beautiful acoustic Flamenco guitar that serves as an excellent example of the Rodriguez legacy. It’s built of all solid woods, with Cypress back and sides, Indian Rosewood headstock, and Honduran Cedar with Ebony neck.
JBassAMR3SB (Fender®) New In Stock: Fender’s® American Jazz Bass® is easily one of the most recognizable bass guitars on the planet. This is the standard, used by bassists in practically every genre of music. Features a three-color sunburst finish and a rosewood fingerboard.
JazzMROCT (Fender®) New In Stock: Very similar in body shape to the Jaguar®, Fender’s® ’62 Jazzmaster™ has had a long and varied career. It’s been the favorite axe of surf bands, new wavers, and alt rockers, just to name a few. It boasts a mid-range tone that can bring the bite when the need arises, delivering sharp stinging leads.
StratSSMCAR, StratSSM3SB, StratSSRCAR (Squire®) New In Stock: How does Squire’s® line of affordable guitars sound and perform so much like Fender®? Simple. Fender® designs them, distributes them, and gives them their full endorsement. Squire’s® version of the classic standard Stratocaster® passes muster with any discriminating guitarist and is an excellent choice for anyone looking for that classic Strat® sound and playability at a remarkable price.
F50ATB (Guild®) New In Stock: Guild’s® Jumbo Acoustic is the original Guild® flattop. If you like the projection of a real jumbo acoustic, this guitar is for you. This particular model re-introduces many of the characteristics that made this instrument a favorite of players like Eric Clapton in the 60s.
TMP59RVBL, TMJ64CCOWT, TMS56NOG2TB (Fender®) New In Stock: Maybe you’ve heard us talk about Fender’s® Time Machine™ Instruments? The Time Machine™ Series instruments go beyond re-issues of renowned Fender® classics; these are literal re-creations. Fender® builds them using the exact same methods and materials that were used in the original year the instruments came out, then tops them off with one of three special distinctive finishes. The 1959 Precision Bass® (TMP59RVBL) is one of the all-time bass standards. This one boasts a Vintage Blonde color and Fender’s® “Relic” finish, which delivers the look and feel of a well worn instrument (even though it’s brand new). The 1964 Jazz Bass® in Olympic White (TMJ64CCOWT) features a “Closet Classic” finish, which means the instrument appears as though it was bought new in 1964, played several times, and then tucked away in a closet for years. Finally, for the non-bass player, the much-loved 1956 Stratocaster® (TMS56NOG2TB) incorporates the distinctive details from that year, including 2-piece Alder body, and single-ply pickguard. It features the “New Old Stock” finish; the guitar looks brand spankin’ new, as if it was bought in 1956 and spared the natural wear of the aging process. Of course, all the guitars here and in Fender’s® Time Machine™ Series are brand new; the Closet Classics and Relics are only finished to appear old.
ArtAwardHBL (Guild®) New In Stock: Guild®’s Artist Award is their flagship archtop guitar. Jazz guitarists love this instrument. It’s a big guitar in a rich “Honey Blonde” color with a cutaway body and a classic jazz sound. It was crafted by master luthier Bob Benedetto, and features the Benedetto-brand floating pickup so the Artist Award can be amplified without interfering with its true acoustic nature.
JBassCCRBCT (Fender®) New In Stock: Fender®’s Custom Classic Jazz Bass® boasts a few subtle refinements to their traditonal Jazz Bass® model, like a slightly slimmer waist contour and deeper cutaways for greater access to the upper registers of the fingerboard.
StratBGHBL (Fender®) New In Stock: Fender®’s Buddy Guy Stratocaster®, made for the man Eric Clapton called the greatest blues guitarist ever. As befitting a master of Chicago Blues, the tone of this axe is remarkable; a searing, stinging sound that can cut through the murkiest mix and come out loud and clear on the other side. The neck is built for lightning-fast fret work. This model boasts a “Honey Blonde” finish.
StratDLRTGT (Fender®) New In Stock: Fender®’s American Deluxe Fat Stratocaster® is their “standard” American Strat® put on a high-carb, high-calorie diet. A Fender® DH-1™ humbucker and an LSR Roller Nut give this Strat® an extra thick, big and beefy tone. The two noiseless pickups (neck and bridge) are wound extra hot for proper balance with the humbucker.
PBassADRACS, PBassADMTGT (Fender®) New In Stock: The versatile and very popular American Deluxe Precision Bass® is a bass standard, delivering the dependable performance and top sound quality that’s made it a solid “go-to” bass for thousands of musicians. A three-band active EQ, combined with a vintage P-Bass® pickup and special design humbucker, lets you “tweak” your sound and find the perfect tone for anything from country to thumb-popping funk. Other features include a graphite reinforced neck and combination string-through-body/top-load bridge.
D50NAT, D55NAT (Guild®) New In Stock: Guild®’s flagship acoustic dreadnought, the D55 is full-bodied in both shape and sound. Guild® designed the D55 with an eye towards string-to-string balance, so that treble, mid and bass registers project evenly. The D50 was Guild®’s first dreadnought acoustic, and remains one of the company’s most enduring instruments. All the essential qualities guitarists look for in a dreadnought acoustic – the punchy tone, the full, fat sound projection – are in ample evidence with the D50. Its versatility makes it very popular among a wide range of performers.
JaguarRSFG (Fender®) New In Stock: Another guitar icon! The Jaguar® is more than just a striking shape. Everyone from 60s surf and garage bands to 80s new wave fell in love with its bright tone and distinctive “twang.” Speaking of surf bands, the Jaguar® features a built-in string-damping device for that style of music, but its removable if surf isn’t your thing.
ToneM212V30 (Fender®) New In Stock: Fender®’s Tonemaster® 212 speaker cabinet goes with the their Tonemaster® amp. It features 2-12″ Celestion 80 watt speakers in a 13-Ply Baltic Birch plywood cabinet.
DualPro (Fender®) New In Stock: Fender®’s Dual Professional guitar amp combo offers a lot of warmth and sustain, using classic Fender® tone-shaping, vibrato and ’63-style tube reverb circuitry to deliver a fantastic sound with some serious volume. It’s a clean amp, too: no crunch or distortion channel.
TeleADMBLK (Fender®) New In Stock: Many Tele® aficionados claim that the American Deluxe Telecaster® is the best Tele® out there. Of course, when you’re talking about the Telecaster®, naming one particular model “the Greatest” is a tough call, but the American Deluxe is one sweet axe, no doubt about it. It features two Fender® Vintage-Noiseless™ Tele® pickups, which gives you the sound of the era-defining 60’s Telecaster®, but without the 60-cycle buzz.
JBassAFRTSB (Fender®) New In Stock: A Fender® Jazz bass® is timeless, of course, but if there’ such a thing as a 21st century Fender® bass, the American Deluxe Jazz Bass® is it. Fender®’s special “Figured Maple Top” gives the instrument a sleek, modern look and a comfortable feel. Also features Fender®’s special design Noiseless pickups.
That’s all for today, but remember – what you’ve seen here doesn’t even begin to cover all the fantastic Fender® gear we have in stock. Check out the online Fender® store for everything Sweetwater has to offer!
