Jimi Hendrix 'Monterey' Stratocaster

The 'Monterey' Strat is arguably one of the most recognisable guitars in rock history. Taking the stage at the Monterey Pop Festival over 50 years ago with a hand-painted Strat, Hendrix recorded his most legendary performance with this iconic instrument. Famously burned at the end of the gig, this guitar is remembered only through old photos and footage. Now, Fender have unveiled the limited-edition Jimi Hendrix Monterey Stratocaster to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of this memorable event.

Fitted with 3 vintage-style single-coil Stratocaster pickups, that old-school Strat sound sings from this instrument.  Featuring a no-nonsense “C”-shaped maple neck with a pau ferro fingerboard, the Monterey Strat has 21 vintage-sized frets to provide the genuine feel that the original would have provided. The truly unforgettable artwork has been lovingly recreated on the body, and features an exclusive etched Hendrix neck plate. This is a special instrument for sure!

Brad Paisley Road Worn Silver Sparkle Telecaster

Fender and Brad Paisley have collaborated with each other for many years. After all, the renowned country legend is most commonly seen with a "paisley"-schemed telecaster around his neck when playing on stage. This is why Fender have honoured him by unleashing the gorgeous Road Worn Silver Sparkle Telecaster!

Formed from a paulownia core and capped by a spruce top/back, this guitar's construction helps in delivering a bright resonance with plenty of character. This also means it's light, so you can play a whole set with this eye-catching guitar without feeling fatigue.

With a custom-wound ’64 Tele bridge pickup and a Custom Shop 'Twisted Tele' pickup in the neck, this configuration provides that iconic Tele "twang" with added warmth and punch. An “Enhanced V” neck profile offers comfort and an ergonomic experience for players. Feeling substantial at the lower end of the neck to play chords effortlessly, the profile flattens higher up the neck to make lead playing easier. Medium-jumbo frets give you the best of both worlds, not alienating vintage aficionados yet giving modern players a familiar feel.

The breath-taking silver sparkle finish has been given the "Road Worn" treatment. With gentle relicing on the upper part of the body, this instrument also has aged hardware to give that "gigged for years" aesthetic. A custom transparent pickguard, adorned with black and silver paisleys, adds to the classy look. And the best part is that it's affordable! Especially with our 0% interest-free finance options!

Fender Signatures on Andertons T.V.

JMJ Road Worn Mustang Bass

Justin Meldal-Johnsen is an acclaimed session bassist, touring and recording with some huge names including Nine Inch Nails, Garbage and Beck. Playing in so many styles, Justin needed a bass that could cover a range of genres, in the studio and on stage. His ’67 Mustang Bass is his favourite instrument, so Fender have created a signature bass for him inspired by his vintage Daphne Blue bass. And that is the limited edition JMJ Road Worn Mustang Bass!

With relicing to give the appearance of a used and loved instrument, this Road Worn bass is driven by a versatile single custom-spec split-coil pickup. This delivers a punchy and crisp tone that can easily cut through the mix, with it's 30" scale making the neck easy to get around. A modern 9.5”-radius fingerboard provides extra comfort and superb playability, with rolled edges for a super-ergonomic feel.

Ed O'Brien Sustainer Stratocaster

Ask any Radiohead fan which member glues the band together, Ed O'Brien would be their answer. With band-mate Jonny Greenwood handling most of the riffs and solos, it is Ed who provides the ambient and orchestral guitar parts which are a key component of Radiohead's distinctive sound. That's why a custom Fender signature guitar has come to fruition, not only to honour Ed's stellar guitar work but to provide him with an instrument that can serve his specific needs. It's also the first piece of signature Radiohead gear, ever!

Featuring a Seymour Duncan JB Jr. bridge pickup, this is essentially a humbucker in a single-coil enclosure. Delivering a fat, beefy tone, this pickup can handle distortion with ease. The most noteworthy feature of this instrument is the Fernandes Sustainer unit in the neck position. Providing near-infinite sustain, this pickup allows Ed to play his ethereal, textured sounds with no compromise.

A classic vintage-style tremolo lets him play the quirky overdubs we hear across Radiohead's catalogue. A "V” neck profile makes chording easy and comfortable, with a custom neck plate engraved with the beautiful "Flower of Life” emblem.

George Harrison Rosewood Telecaster

As a member of the Beatles, George Harrison is one of the most influential guitar players of all time. No longer with us, Fender has commemorated the life of Harrison by introducing the Fender signature George Harrison Rosewood Tele.

This instrument is heavily inspired by the original Telecaster that renowned guitar luthier Roger Rossmeisl built for Harrison. Maintaining that vintage look, this instrument delivers that distinctive tone that only an all-rosewood guitar can possibly achieve. A chambered body keeps the guitar light and ergonomic, whilst also improving it's resonance and top-end response. A rosewood neck and fingerboard feels robust and smooth under the fingers, and features a custom neck plate engraved with an Om symbol.
