The New Top Of The Line: Fender Select

NAMM 2012  Fender unveiled their top of the line for USA guitars and basses in 2012 – Fender Select.  These instruments bring together high-end appointments with beautiful figured maple tops to create a very classy and playable Fender.  Aside from the lovely, subtle satin lacquer burst finishes you’ll see on them, these new guitars and basses will draw from a feature set that includes contoured neck heels, the Bi-Flex truss rod system, compound radius fingerboards, rear-headstock “Fender Select” medallions, carved maple tops, unique Select pickups, and a special no-load tone control that gets out of the way when dimed.  These will be available at The Music Zoo this year, and the production is limited so put in your pre-order now.  MAP prices will fall between $2,049 and $2,499 depending on model.  Pictured above is the Fender Select Telecaster in Violin burst.
