Fans of Fender’s vintage guitars, rejoice.

The iconic audio maker has introduced a new guitar range, called the “American Ultra Luxe Vintage” series, that features five of the brand’s legendary Stratocasters and Telecasters from the 1950s and 1960s, but updated to meet modern playback standards.

According to the brand, the “new collection represents the pinnacle of Fender innovation and craftsmanship, setting the benchmark for premium electric instruments whilst showcasing the finest of the brand’s heritage – where timeless classics meet uncompromisingly modern technological refinement.”

Reimagined Icons

The American Ultra Luxe Vintage range features five different classic guitars. There’s the ‘50s Stratocaster, ‘60s Stratocaster, ‘60s Stratocaster HSS, ‘50s Telecaster and ‘60s Custom Telecaster.

All five models have been faithfully produced to pay homage to their predecessors. Maybe most interestingly, is the fact that each has a
meticulously aged Heirloom lacquer finish — it’s the first time Fender has offered these Heirloom finishes on a production line guitar.
