Fender Twin

Talk about transparent tone.

From a sleepy, picturesque corner of Lincolnshire, Norman Mitchell’s Old Hat Guitars has long been supplying players in the know with high-quality vintage gear.

Over seven decades, the Fender Twin has been one of the great guitar amplifiers. From the coveted tweeds of the 1950s to digital modellers, it has continued to evolve but always bears testament to the invention and dedication of one man: Leo Fender, amplifier genius.

Fender's revered modelling combos have been refreshed with a new blonde tolex, updated speakers alongside new acoustic amps

Promising classic Blackface tones, impulse response direct outputs, handy switchable power options and around a 50 per cent reduction in weight, does Fender’s Tone Master series spell the end for the humble valve amp?

Fender’s added another twist to its acoustic / electric digital modelling guitar series: an offset with a spruce-free build. Could it win over the Acoustasonic sceptics?

"I hope this Tele inspires players of all genres to dig in and rock out.”

The layoffs allegedly include some very senior positions.

The Fender Custom Shop had previously released a small run of high-end recreations.

Four bespoke guitars from the Fender Custom Shop will be sold in aid of the Fender Play Foundation.
