Ryan H Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Though I love my Gibson, Fenders still have their purposes, and I'm sure most of you can appreciate that. I just got an email today from one of my local FMIC authorized dealers, and apparently they're revamping the American Vintage series. The '56 Strat and '52 Tele remain, with some new additions! The '58 Tele: The '59 Strat (you get to pick Rosewood or maple!): The '64 Tele: The '65 Strat: The '65 Jaguar The '65 Jazzmaster: So many awesome guitars and great upgrades! Thoughts?

Dub-T-123 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Wow These are HOT. Any ideas on pricing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan H Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 Wow These are HOT. Any ideas on pricing? They range between $2000-$2500 MAP depending on the model. The Tele's are the cheapest, and the Jaguar and Jazzmaster are the most expensive. Oh, and the Tele's and Strats all come in Left Handed versions too (or most of them anyways). EDIT: Found actual prices at my local dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveinspain Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Mehh... Still prefer a Gibson any day but thank God we all have different likes and dislikes other wise what a boring world this would be... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookieman15061 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 When I heard these were coming out I was hoping for one in Fiesta Red with rosewood fret board but looks like I'll have to settle for the 59 in Sonic Blue. Beautiful series though. Fender's doing some great stuff lately but then so is Gibson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buxom Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Will they all be Kluson, or will some have the CBS "F" tuners, specifically the 65s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff-7 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 That '64 tele is sex. Don't really like that color on the '65 Jazzy, will there be the usual Olympic White and black? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan H Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 Will they all be Kluson, or will some have the CBS "F" tuners, specifically the 65s. They all come with the same Fender "vintage style" tuners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stein Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Will they all be Kluson, or will some have the CBS "F" tuners, specifically the 65s. "F" tuners don't appear until '68. A "reissue" of a '65 would be a Kluson-type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrosurfer1959 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 That white 58 tele is nice - don't know it 2000 dollars nice but it's nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Searcy Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 lol I know, I know. Sorry guys but I just can't get excited about the ten thousandth 50's or 60's reissue. I feel the same way about tasteful Les Paul Sunbursts and Cherry 335s. Seen it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzoboy Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 If Fender can nail the tone and feel of the "L" series '65 Strats,Jags,Jazzes etc.,they would certainly be worth buying because IMHO the "L" series Fenders are the best that they made.The necks of these Fenders usually had the "B" width with a shallow "C" profile that was just about the most comfortable of all guitar necks made-well at least to my hands they are.The pickups of the "L" series were incredible too and just about the only thing that can come either bit close these days are the '62s and the Tex-Mex but the actual "L" series pups just have a chime and quack that the reissues I've heard so far can't quite replicate,so if they can nail that tone the new '65 series guitars will fly off the shelves as fast as they can reorder more.
