CALIFORNIA DREAMING: FENDER REINVENTS THE VINTAGE REISSUE
Whichever way you spin it, there are really only three ways to present a new version of a decades-old classic – as a period correct replica, a modern updated interpretation, or as something that sits somewhere in-between.
We’ve seen numerous Fender USA line-ups since the late eighties, but today’s ranges are trimmed down and much more focused. And, in this ongoing rejiggery, 2018 sees another significant change. It’s bye-bye to the American Vintage series, which was launched back in 2012, and hello to the new American Originals. The American Vintage models were year-specific clones or, as close as is possible with a modern build… These new Originals, however, aim for a ‘Best of Decade’ vibe.
