Pugilist DistortionIn 2020 fender released the Pugilist in a range of great pedals that improved massively over previous years' offerings. These pedals had more than just great tone, they oozed with great features too. Distortion StackingThe thing which sets the pugilist aside from over distortions is that it's actually 2 in one box.Despite there being many controls, they're very simple:2 x Tone2 x gainLevelBlend (switchable on/off)Bass Boost switch. You simply dial in the gain and tone amount for each distortion and choose how to mix them.Mixing it upThere are three different options of mixing the distortions not two as most people would lead you to believe. Firstly you can run them directly into each over which will push the second drive into obliteration, wonderful. Secondly you can set each side differently and us the blend control to find your perfect mixture of parallel goodness. Thirdly by turning the blend control entirely to one side or the other you will have just one distortion engaged.Top TipTo turn the pugilist into a two channel beast try the following. Set channel A with low gain and the tone slightly more trebly. Set Channel B to be a great sounding medium/high distortion on its own. Turn the blend control totally to the right and use the "series/blend" switch to toggle "channels". The result will be a great sounding distortion with the ability to boost it by kicking the switch up.The Pugilist's other featuresThe bass boost switch is great for adding body when practicing at home and getting out of the bassists way in a band environment. Each of the knobs has its own led for clarity on stage but you can also turn these off to avoid blinding yourself. Battery compartments can often be a pain to get to so Fender added an easy to access port on the bottom panel. This simply flips down without having to remove the pugilist from your pedalboard.

This custom shop Closet Classic Custom Shop from Fender is a made to order guitar designed to replicate this model perfectly. The guitar even features the overly "woolly" neck pickup tone found on the original which most original versions have have modded to be more like a common Tele neck pickup

An underrated oldie. Fender are known less for their acoustic guitars. That does not mean their acoustic guitars are something to overlook. The F-65 is a Japanese made, laminated wood guitar, which can be bought with a few hundred bills and let us tell you, it is an awesome sounding dreadnought. A lot of punch and body comes out of this one. Check your preferred second hand shop, you might get lucky.
A new generation of the iconic Stratocaster. Fender has been innovative since itâs 1st day. The Stratocaster, which was introduced back in 1954, made such a huge impact on the music industry which is unquestionable. Although the early modelsâ specs are still relevant today and available through the Fender Custom Shop, the âstandardâ or should we say, âmainâ Stratocaster model went through changes along the years which kept it up to date with the era. 2017 will be remembered as one of these points in time when the famous American Standard line is being replaced by the new American Professional line.So, what is the difference, really?Well, one thing that remains, you can breathe, is the famous design of the Stratocaster. But, some new finishes like Antique Olive, Sonic Grey, and Mystic Seafoam are now added to Fenderâs vast finish catalog.The first difference you will feel when you pick the Fender American Professional Stratocaster will probably be in the neck area - the neck shape of the Pro has a new deep C shape and the frets are narrower than the jumbos which were used on the Standard.Once you plug the Professional, the pickups, which are now NEW-V-MODE will present themselves to you. With the NEW-V-MODE each pickup is specifically designed to its position, so you will get the maximum tone of your guitar. Also, the nut on the Professional is genuine bone which is a great improvement in our opinion to the synthetic one on the Standard.We love the new neck shape, it feels more solid in the hand. The new pickups react wonderfully and also the improved pop-in tremolo arm, though being a small improvement some might say, make the American Professional a neater Stratocaster. But most important is, that the American Professional Stratocaster is not a new guitar, it is just a better, up to date, version of the Fender Stratocaster we all love.
Designed in Fender's custom shop, built for players!Fender's Classic Player series has been around for a decade now, bringing popular, yet re-imagined models from the 1950s through the 1970s to the hands of us guitar players. The Fender Classic Player Baja '60s Telecaster electric guitar is a great example for this brilliant series, it has that classic looks and tone with a feel any modern guitarist is sure to appreciate.The Fender Classic Player Baja '60s was designed by Fender custom shop master builder Chris Fleming. Chris chose Alder for the body as it is the wood which was used by Fender in the '60s. The result is a warm tone with great sustain. He also decided to use the 3 compensated saddles design Fender used back in the day, as much consider them to be a major contributor to the Telecaster's twang. For the neck Fender chose Pau Ferro wood which resembles to rosewood.A great deviation from original specs was made to the electronics of the Baja, while it is equipped with '58 and '52 American Vintage single-coil pickups, which delivers that signature Tele sound, the guitar is wired with a special 4-position blade switch and a 2-position S-1 switch, allowing you to switch from classic Tele to series and parallel out-of-phase tones. How great is that!
Fender Telecaster Standard, an old school guitar with traditional looks and modern features. Duke Ellington once said "if it sounds good, it is good!". This sentence sums up all we think about the Fender Standard Telecaster guitar and Telecasters in general. When Leo Fender released his back then in the 50's new guitar, the Esquire, it had one pickup and no truss rod. Then came the broadcaster which was renamed the Telecaster due to a conflict with Gretsch. Then this Telecaster literally changed the world of rock 'n' roll!On the Standard Telecaster Fender went after originality, cost effectivity and playability. The body is made of one piece Alder (originally until 56 or so Telecaster guitars had Ash bodies) and the neck is a nice modern C shape maple one with medium jumbo frets. A main difference between the Fender Standard Telecaster and the original one from the 50's are the bridge saddles. Instead of the vintage 3 compensated saddles, Fender equipped the Standard Telecaster with 6 adjustable saddles for maximum intonation and setup adjustments. Fender also designed a new bridge to replace the "Ashtray" bridge that came with the old Telecasters.Sound wise there is no doubt about it, the Standard Telecaster is a Telecaster all right! It has twang, it has bite, it has smokin' highs and lows and mostly that distinctive Telecaster mid range we all love so much. Driving an amplifier with the Fender Standard Telecaster is easy, as the new Standard Tele Single Coil pickups are hotter than the old ones.
When thick tone is on demand. Since its early-'50s introduction, the Fender® Precision Bass® guitar has remained the world standard for thick tone and smooth playability. The Standard Precision Bass combines the best of old and new, with a modern single-coil pickup, shielded body cavity, medium jumbo frets, vintage-style bridge, tinted neck with rosewood or maple fretboard, three-ply parchment pickguard and '70s-style headstock logo.
in short: a great one pickup position bass. The Fender American Standard Precision Bass is now upgraded with a seismic Fender Custom Shop '60s Precision Bass split single-coil pickup and a striking new Jade Pearl Metallic finish option.The Bridge is a 4-Saddle HiMass Vintage (String-Through-Body or Topload) and the tuning machines are the Fender "F" Light-Weight Vintage-Paddle Keys with tapered shafts.
One of the last PRE CBS Strats... 1965 presents a change of an era at Fender as it is the year Fender was sold to the CBS company. The reduction in quality control during the CBS era, distinguished the Pre CBS Strats from the ones that came after, making these the most sought after Strats in the market.This Fender Stratocaster we have demoed, is a classic example of a 1965 model. It sports the small headstock (in late 65 the big headstock was introduced) and that vibrant 3 Colour Sunburst mid 60s Strats are known for. Nothing was changed or altered on this guitar, including the frets which surprisingly are sill in excellent condition.Enjoy trying this guitar on TonePedia, and do not forget to compare it to other Strats on the player.
A Perfect First Guitar. The name Fender resonates quality to beginners and experienced guitarists alike and thatâs where this guitar fits in. There are no end of budget classical acoustics on the market and most of us experienced guitarists will only know approximately 5% of the brands. So when the mighty Fender releases a well made, well specâd classical for around $100 it makes a lot of sense. Compare the spec & the tones to similar guitars on TonePedia and decide, is this the starting guitar for you!?
A First Classical Which Is Actually Playable Its not fair to suggest that all classical guitars are unplayable by beginners, but its not entirely false either.The surprise of many when picking up their first guitar bought at a boot sale by uncle Ted only to find the neck is so wide you can barely hold it. More than one budding musician has not followed through with their passion for music due to this first hurdle.Aware of this Fender must be as the CN60s is everything a beautifully made classical guitar should be and none of the things it shouldn't.Fender say it best ... "The Classic Design CN models combine the easy playability and distinct tone of nylon strings with the comfort of steel-string spacing.We've replaced the typically wide necks normally found on classical guitars with the same easy-playing neck profile found on all other Classic Design models" With a solid spruce top, mahogany back and sides and rolled fingerboard edges this guitar sounds lovely and plays like a dream!
