Fender's new Vintera III Series has arrived at Showcase!! These guitars are a nod to the most iconic Fender guitars and basses and come with vintage-accurate pickups, era-correct neck shapes, and classic finishes and hardware. Right now we have a Firemist Gold Mid '60s Tele, Ocean Turquoise Late '60s Strat, Candy Apple Red Early '70s Jazz Bass, and even more available in the shop, so come check 'em out before they sell out ☺️

Sweet sounds on our ‘60s Martin F-50 ☺️

This super rare, pristine 1964 hollowbody electric made by Martin is weird and awesome, with some unique specs. Clear lucite bridge - crazy. D’Armond Dynasonic pickup - crazy. “M” shaped tailpiece that looks more like a V - crazy. You have to try this thing out in person! And in the meantime, check it out on our Reverb.
