Fender Stratocaster
Guitar

Fender Stratocaster

The most iconic electric guitar ever made. Its three single-coil pickups, contoured body and versatile tone make it the go-to for blues, rock, funk and everything in between. Players from Hendrix to Gilmour to Clapton built their sound on it.

Fender Twin Reverb
Amp

Fender Twin Reverb

The gold standard for clean tone. The Twin Reverb's 85 watts of headroom, brilliant spring reverb and crystal-clear sound make it the preferred amp for country, blues and clean rock. It stays clean louder than almost anything else.

Fender Deluxe Reverb
Amp

Fender Deluxe Reverb

Twenty-two watts of pure Fender magic. Unlike the Twin, the Deluxe Reverb breaks up beautifully at manageable volumes, giving players the best of clean sparkle and natural tube grit in a giggable package.
