To celebrate the new series, Fender is debuting a full creative campaign that captures the nostalgic style and sound of the "golden age" of Fender and highlights vintage-inspired takes on fan-favorite models. The campaign will also feature an all-star roster of multigenerational artists including noise-rock trailblazer Thurston Moore and The Revolution's Wendy Melvoin, as well as indie phenom Snail Mail and Grammy-winner Madison Cunningham, as well as era-inspired artists vignettes and more.  

Key Points: 
  • Introducing the Vintera II Series: era-correct classics and cult faves from the 50s, 60s & 70s.
  • Creatively, these pieces are a tip of the cap to the past — while still remaining firmly grounded in the contemporary.
