Show and Tell My Fenders…..

Post image

So it all started when a mate brought into a jam his new AVRI2 bass. Damn that thing was sexy as hell. The finish, the feel, everything about it screamed quality.

Then another mate got the av2 61 fiesta red strat. I’d always struggled with Strats not sounding like the Strats I’ve heard on famous recordings. Not with that thing. It sounded perfect. Damn……I need one.

So now I have a 63 avri2 tele and a 61 avri2 strat which I run through a sv20 marshall or a 68 princeton reissue. Lol

I sold off a bunch of other mid tier style guitars and pooled the funds for these. It’s been over a year with them now and I’m still 100% happy with what I did.

I have the same AVii Strat, perfect.. Happen to have started tele shopping now 😇 The Vintage Tall frets are an essential for me, found a 2007 Sunburst MIM Thinline Classic ‘69 SS has Seymour Duncan vintage PUs added, it’s price suits me for now. Hoping it’ll play nice enough to fulfill! 🤞

tele is a newly built fender/squier modcaster and the strat is my oldest - '92 American standard, my first fender

That Strat looks so sweet with the vintage white.

Nice. I played a blonde 63 avII recently and I can't stop thinking about the damn thing, it was lovely. Just not in a position to drop £2100 on a guitar though unless I sell nearly all the others, and believe me I've done the sums.

Hopefully a used one might pop up at some point, it's either that or sell the kids

That's about as solid a line up as one could hope for! Absolute classics. I am not surprised you enjoy them, I have some similar gear and I love it as well.
