Fender’s little brother brand, Squier, just announced the debut of the revamped, all-new Vintage Modified Series of guitars at NAMM 2012 (exclusive pics below). The new series introduces new model types fully outfitted in retro-inspired, chop-shop looks, along with rich, roaring tone. The new series includes two new models and three that have been updated:
Vintage Modified ’70s Stratocaster® – This guitar is new to the series and is a sweet-looking model that delivers the distinctive look and feel of the ’70s workhorse Fender guitars. Available in all-Black maple-fingerboard and Vintage White rosewood-fingerboard, both models feature a large headstock, vintage-tint gloss neck and the black plastic parts typical that are of that era.
Vintage Modified Telecaster® Special – An updated Tele Special puts a spin on the model with truly modded and hot-rodded features. With features including a full-sounding Jazzmaster® neck pickup, and a vintage-tint maple Jazzmaster neck, this killer-vibe guitar is available in White Blonde and Butterscotch Blonde.
Vintage Modified Surf Stratocaster – Also new to the series is this guy, a guitar made to crest the perfect wave of Squier sound. Features include highly distinctive tube-style pickups and classically colorful Surf Green, Sonic Blue and Candy Apple Red finishes that evoke the sand, sun and fun vibe of Fender’s early-’60s golden age.
Vintage Modified Stratocaster HSS – The HSS comes roaring back with new features, including a vintage-tint gloss neck, ’70s-style large headstock, powerful humbucking bridge-pickup tone and a striking new Charcoal Frost Metallic finish option in addition to timelessly cool Black and Three-color Sunburst.
Vintage Modified Stratocaster – A revamped Strat arrives with all-new stylish features and its classic triple-single-coil tone. Other features include a vintage-tint gloss neck, ’70s-style large headstock, and an sexy new Vintage Blonde finish option along with the timeless Black and Three-color Sunburst finishes.
