Saw some news that Fender submitted a warn notice that they plan to layoff 533 employees from the Corona site. Feel bad for those affected, and wondering how much is overall economy-driven vs how much is self-inflicted from the bad publicity of the past year’s litigation efforts.

I recently got a tone master pro and an FR-12 so I didn’t have to lug the big expensive box of glass tube amp, cabinet, and pedalboard to a friend’s place once a week and I saw that it had bass presets and whatnot. I was like, “How convenient! I don’t want to buy a bass amp, but I’ve always wanted to learn bass.” Unfortunately, I was one bass short of being able to learn bass. No more - this is my Player II Modified Precision Bass. It looks so cool and I’m looking forward to becoming the world’s shittiest bassist.

I was torn between the Precision Bass and a Mustang PJ but this yellow was too sharp.

It’s an outdoor venue so the amp could be heard as intended.

My first american fender. What a time to be alive. Already got a Mexican baja Telecaster which I Love. Now im also on the Strat team.

HI!

This is a rock style guitar solo played in the key of C, over the chords Am F C G. The guitar is a Japanese made 1986 Fender Stratocaster and the effects are from a Boss ME70.

Just discovered that Fender changed Studio One’s name and host and because I had a very old fender account that I have created with facebook in like 2018, since I’m using the same e-mail as the Studio ONe account they say I MUST connect both accounts. I FUCKING PAYED FOR MY LICENSE. I’m not giving you shit of my data. I’ll just pirate another software. Fuck big companies. Fuck u fender

Another used “what happened to this guitar’s finish?” situation.

Is this a terrible home relic job? Or did someone put the strat too close to a furnace? Anyway, it’s at a Guitar Center in Pasadena Texas.

Begun, the guitar wars have

super odd to me that there is no serial anywhere. guy doesnt know much but wants to trade for a Mexican strat.

Is the factory preamp on a Jazz Bass sufficient? Or is it better to install an Aguilar brand preamp?

Might be time for a gibson lol

So i want to get the Squire Affinity in Black. Not any other model but this one. But i don’t see it anywhere. Even on the official page it looks like out of stock.

When will they be in stock?

J aimerais savoir quelle guitare me correspond, je recherche la guitare de ma vie. J aimerais une fender avec un ou 2 humbecker et un manche tout en acajou car je trouve plus agreable a jouer. Malheureusement, j ai des doigts tout boudine. Quelqu in sait quelle fender serait faite pour moi ??

I just got a fender 75th anniversary American professional telecaster cabronita from a retailer. The ice blue one. And I noticed some scratches(picture 1 and 2) and even a little dent (picture 3) on the backplate, that white area at the back. And the screw might be a little loose(picture 4)? Is there supposed to be protective film or something? Are these scratches and the dent normal?

Thanks in advance!

update: thanks for all the replies! I doubted if this was a floor model at first but it came with a strong paint smell. If it was a floor model, wouldn’t the smell already be gone?

update again: I took the screws out as u/havelostcount suggested in the comment and it turned out the backplate was indeed on backwards, and there is a protective film on the other side. Is this a factory mistake or what happened…

Hi everyone, I was designing guitars on the Fender Mod Shop the other day and, well, these are what I came up with. But now I’m not sure which one to buy... I play pretty much every genre of music, but often funk and funk-rock-style stuff... which one would be best suited for that? Thx for your help <3

First guitar I owned!

About two weeks ago I bought this amp. Let me say from the beginning that I love tube amps, have played them all my career, and own about 30.

I purchased this amp for a few reasons, one of them being how light the amp is. I am getting older and just can’t lug around 50-85 pound amps anymore. This thing is forgivingly light. It’s easy to get from the truck to the stage. My back thanks me.

How does it sound? In a word, fantastic. Does it completely match the sound of a tube Twin? No, but the difference is so small it’s negligible. Cleans are pristine, the digital reverb sounds good, and the trem/vibrato sounds excellent. It sounds great at 1 watt, it sounds great at the full 200 watts.

It plays nice with pedals. Overdrives and fuzz sound just fine. Modulations sound great. I run a compressor at the start of my chain and it sweetens up everything nicely.

My gigging guitars are a Gibson ‘61 standard SG and a Fender American Special Strat. Sometimes a Yamaha Revstar.

If you need a good, loud amp that can do both the stage and the bedroom with ease, try one out.
