Many of us guitar players would love a vintage guitar but getting our hands on the real deal is likely out of reach for most of us mere mortals. If you’re lusting after a period-correct instrument but don’t want to pay auction-house prices, then you’ll definitely want to check out the Fender Vintera sale, where there are huge discounts of 20% on some incredible vintage-inspired guitars.
We’ve had a gander through the sale to see what we can see, and there are quite a few deals that caught our attention. The Fender Vintera 60s Jazzmaster Modified is perfect for shoegaze, with a pair of hot single coils that pair wonderfully with fuzz and reverb pedals. With an updated adjusto-matic bridge that provides better intonation and reduces unwanted ringing, it’s a brilliant option at just $1,039.99, with $260 off the regular price.
There’s also the super-cool looking Fender Vintera 70s Jazz Bass which takes the vibe of Fender’s golden age of guitars and updates with more modern pickups. It plays like a vintage J-Bass thanks to the period-correct neck profile and hardware, and it’s an absolute steal at just $999.99, with a cool $250 knocked off in the Fender Vintera sale. We absolutely love that Inca Silver finish too!
Finally, we had to give a shout-out to the amazing Fender VIntera 60s Stratocaster which packs loads of tones into an already versatile pickup set thanks to its S1 switching system. Allowing you to add the neck pickup into positions 1 and 2, you get a whole range of sounds alongside that classic Strat spank. It’s available in Burgundy Mist Metallic or classic Olympic White and is coming in at just $959.99 after a 20% reduction in the Fender Vintera sale.
