Another innovative move from Fender that we think guitar players around the world are really going to dig. Fender's new Gold Foil instruments put a brand new spin on vintage-styled Telecasters, Jazzmasters, and Jazz basses, incorporating new Gold Foil pickups. Gold Foil pickups were ubiquitous in the '50s and '60s and many artists like Ry Cooder have found their unique, open tone essential to their creative muse.
Nowadays almost every top boutique pickup maker offers their version of Gold Foil pickups which is a testament to the longstanding popularity of this mid-century pickup design. If you're in the market for a fresh sound, it may be time to acquaint yourself with Gold Foils. We think they sound fabulous in these classic Fender instruments and we think you will, too.
Freshly set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech, our instruments are dialed in and ready to rock. All Fender Gold Foil guitars and basses come with a Fender deluxe gig bag.
