There's going to be an American Vintage 2 series apparently.

They must have delayed the announcement while scrambling to fix the Jazzmaster headstock blunder.

(Hey, you never know!)

[mekhem]

Lol... Maybe. Or they didnt want to compete with the Gibson Faded announcement....


Maybe next week - 9 am pacific...

What if they're throwing together a Jaguar after seeing the people complaining about its absence and plus the quick sell out of the Marr Jag? Lol

This would be bad news for my wallet but great news for my sanity.

Must be a US thing with it selling out, still plenty available in the UK.

So apparently Fender are opening a brick and mortar store in Austin, Texas and the American Vintage II line is advertised all on one side!?







Sourced from r/fender, u/tommy1moore

[JSett]

Well, that's a thing.

[rbrcbr]

Alright, so yeah, this is basically confirming it at this point lmao

Not a Jazzmaster, but looks like another AVII leak.

Looks like a $2249 street price.

Here's the marketing prose in case it gets taken down:

The Fender® American Vintage II series presents a remarkably accurate take on the revolutionary designs that altered the course of musical history. Built with period-accurate bodies, necks and hardware, premium finishes and meticulously voiced, year-specific pickups, each instrument captures the essence of authentic Fender craftsmanship and tone.

Just one year after launching the Broadcaster®, Fender received a cease-and-desist telegram from the Fred Gretsch Mfg. Co. and was faced with renaming its flagship electric guitar. Taking inspiration from the booming growth and expansive reach of television, the first blackguard Telecaster rolled off the line in late 1951, and the model has been in continuous production ever since. Deceptively simple and totally groundbreaking, the Telecaster® brought the solid body electric guitar to the masses, inspiring countless musicians along the way.

The American Vintage II 1951 Telecaster features an ash body finished in Butterscotch Blonde to capture the tone and look of the original. The substantial ‘51 “U”-shaped hard rock maple neck plays like a dream with a 7.25” radius fingerboard and vintage tall frets. Characteristic of production in 1951, 12th fret face-dot spacing is narrow and the sole Phillips-head fastener on the guitar is at the truss rod nut. The triple brass saddle bridge, single-line “Fender Deluxe” tuners and Pure Vintage '51 Telecaster pickups deliver classic twang and authentic Fender style.

The instruments in the American Vintage II series are direct descendants of the original Fenders: designed for players with a fine appreciation for vintage Fender tone and feel and built with unmatched quality, down to the last screw. These are Fender electrics in their purest form: Fender American Vintage II, the stuff of legends.

Damn, if this copy is real then I was wrong saying it wasn’t a reissue or replica.

Built with period-accurate bodies, necks and hardware

Carry on, headstock warriors.

Looks like these are going to be over $3000 CAD. (My guess is going to be $3199). YIKES. The AO line started out around $2300 CAD in 2018 and steadily increased until their final price point was $2799-$2899 CAD. So this series (if you look at it from the continuity of the AVRI/AV/AO/AVii lines) will have jumped almost $1000 in 4 years.

I recently bought a used CS 61 Strat for $3500 CAD. I'm not seeing anything in this lineup that would make me want to drop that kind of cash.

Count yourself lucky. If they’d put the correct headstock on the JM it would be even more expensive with all that extra wood.

No mention of the headstock technically in that copy, only the neck portion

That certainly is a nice looking Telecaster. I guess the price is about where I thought it would be. Certainly you would expect older AVRI and AV stuff to be priced underneath that amount.
