G.E.Smith- the modern master of the Fender Tele!

As a child during the early 1960s, George Edward “G.E.” Smith got a Telecaster guitar for his birthday one year, and never looked back. Through his six hit-making years with Hall & Oates, his decade-long run as Saturday Night Live bandleader and his touring stints with Bob Dylan, Smith is widely hailed as a modern master of the Telecaster.
The Fender musical instruments has announced a new signature model for its 2007 lineup – the G.E. Smith Signature Telecaster, a special guitar that combines a ’40s-era Fender lap steel with a ’50s-era Telecaster. The Fender Artist G.E. Smith Telecaster Electric Guitar features a pair of American Vintage Tele Single-Coil pickups, with the bridge position sunk right into the wood – in the style of an early Champion lap steel – with other unique features including lap steel “oval and diamond” fingerboard inlays, and the Special Extra Deep “U” Shape maple neck.

The revolutionary new VG Stratocaster Guitar!

Fender and Roland® team up once again to bring you the revolutionary new VG Stratocaster guitar.
The Fender American VG Stratocaster Guitar is an incredibly versatile instrument that gives you 37 different Stratocaster, Telecaster, humbucking, 12-string and acoustic sounds, plus five alternate tunings, all at the simple flip of a switch or twist of a knob. It all comes in the gracefully familiar form of an American Series Stratocaster, and it’s designed to deliver each sound with level, balanced tone and volume—no need to readjust your amp settings with each change in guitar sound.
It’s a classic Strat® in every sense of the word, with a lot of extra magic, too.

So simple, yet incredibly versatile!

Since its introduction in the early ’50s, guitarists in all musical genres have relied on the Fender Telecaster Guitar for its powerful tone and smooth playability. Today’s Fender Standard Telecaster Left-Handed Guitar features the best of the old and the new: a fast-action maple neck, cast/sealed machine heads, two classic single-coil pickups, and a six-saddle string-through-body bridge. Timeless.

The new Aerodyne Classic Stratocaster Guitar bridges the gap between Fender’s ultra-progressive Aerodyne body profile and the vintage design of one of our most beloved and legendary models.

The Aerodyne Classic Stratocaster Guitar features include a basswood body, C-shaped maple neck with 7.25”-radius 22-fret rosewood fingerboard and matching painted headstock, three-ply mint-green Stratocaster pickguard, chrome hardware and aged plastic parts, Fender/Ping® vintage-style tuning machines and a vintage-style synchronized tremolo bridge.

Fender is proud to reissue the Fender 65 Mustang Classic Guitar.

The Fender 65 Mustang Classic Guitar comes in great vintage colors (Daphne Blue, Olympic White and Dakota Red) with highly period-correct detailing.
