Fender’s legacy is built on originality—bold ideas that shaped the sound of modern music. The American Original Series carries that spirit forward, offering “best-of-the-decade” reissues of Fender’s most iconic guitars and basses. These instruments stay true to their era-correct roots, from authentic tonewoods to meticulously voiced pickups, while incorporating subtle modern updates—like comfortable fingerboard profiles and vintage tall frets—for improved playability. It’s the classic Fender feel you love, with refinements that make them even better for today’s players.
