The Fender JV Modified Series is a new collection from the storied guitar brand that takes instrumental beauty to the next level. Part of the label’s new spring/summer launch, it is a must for avid players, guitar enthusiasts, and even collectors who seek something new for their lineup. The inspiration for the design comes from the Japanese Vintage re-issues that were popularized during the 1980s.
Don’t be fooled, though—the excessive Me Decade may have influenced its good looks, but this instantly iconic series is 100% a modern feast for the senses. The Fender four-piece collection includes a pair of Stratocasters and two Telecasters. They evoke that traditional vibe, yet offer the benefits of a highly contemporary musical instrument worthy of any superstar on the big stage. The devil is, of course, all in the details. Vintage-voiced coils contribute to multitudinous sounds galore, while aesthetics like gold pickguards and striking colorways lend each guitar its unforgettable look. It is these little tweaks that shake up what made the originals so great—and make these fabulous replicas of the 1950s and ‘60s best guitars so worthy of a pickup in the modern era. Musicians, take note.
