Fender will be on tour this summer, in a jaunt through the UK and Ireland promising a celebration of the sounds, heritage and evolution of their flagship American Standard models.
The Stratocaster, Telecaster, Precision Bass and Jazz Bass will be showcased through a series of demonstrations and Q&As with experts from Fender itself. Lucky attendees will also get the opportunity to try out a range of Fender's USA-made instruments.
Tickets are available free - yes, free - on a first-come, first-served basis, and all attendees will also be entered into a draw to win the Fender American Standard Instrument of their choice.
