The most classic models, quite literally built to original specs.

Fender’s American Vintage II line is a collection of Fender’s most iconic models built to original specs exactly as they were when the model was released. They are truly Fender’s bread and butter so we created a campaign for all the vintage gear heads, celebrating the legacy of these iconic models and all the music that was influenced by them and how it continues to do so today.
