According to online reports, the Fender American Vintage Series II is coming. With both online Fender dealers across the world and a former intern leaking images, specifications and images of the revamped vintage-inspired lineup.

LEAK: Fender American Vintage Series II

It would appear that Fender is about to drop a new American Vintage Series II and online Fender dealers have been spotted worldwide listing new models, images and specifications of the new range. What is also interesting for some is that a former intern at Fender has also listed a set of images that supposedly contains details of the forthcoming new guitars and bass models.

Play The Legacy

It looks as though this intern may have worked on the upcoming advertising campaign. If these images are real then we could get a whole new set of guitars and basses soon from Fender.

No Jag?

There does not appear to be a Jaguar on this list, though we may have an incomplete list of course.

But there are plenty of the usual suspects including Stratocasters, Telecasters, Jazzmasters, etc With the average MSRPs for the various models listed at around €2600 across European dealers, these models aren’t exactly cheap. Expect vintage hardware, nitrocellulose finishes and period-correct pickups across the various models.

When could we see them?

My guess would be we will see these imminently, as Fender dealers around the world are already listing these models on their websites. I will of course update this article if more details become available. But for now, check out this link for more details on the supposed new Fender American Vintage Series II range and advertising campaign.
