Since the major Forum upgrade many things like guitar wiring and amps schematic are hard to find or are disappeared. :(

Fender bring them back

I've complained about this every chance I get. :mrgreen:

Squier diagrams, all missing. Frontlines pre-2011, all missing. Newer Frontlines (just noticed these...) NO SEARCH FUNCTION, NO .PDF DOWNLOAD POSSIBILITY.

A very vague reply from Fender customer service gave some hope that the situation will get better.
While waiting for customer friendlier times to come, I suggest anyone needing a service diagram not on the new pages contacts consumerrelations@fender.com .

Yeah to make some pressure,

Most diagrams are available with Google, but they must be on Fender Forum in first

Fender doesn't want you to fix anything.

Instead, they'd prefer that you heave the dead guitar, amp, or whatever into a local landfill and buy a new one.

:lol:

The diagrams that still exist on Fender pages can be found via
"Support" -> "Product care" -> "Stratocaster® [or Telecaster® /Bass Guitar /Miscellaneous Guitar (Non-Stratocaster®/Non-Telecaster®)] Service Diagrams".

Or (for Strats only) via the Stratocaster® setup guide, which is now on "Support" -> "Product care" -> "How do I set up my Stratocaster® guitar properly?".

But, as said, all Squier diagrams are missing. Also missing are some Fender diagrams, e.g. Select Telecaster® HH, Richie Kotzen Tele, Coronado, Mustangs and probably more I haven't yet noticed... Plus those older frontlines. Plus the deteriorated functions on newer Frontlines/Illustrated price lists. :(

Adding to that, the shop.fender.com and fender.com sites are often unreachable ("cannot display page"). Well, they didn't sell to Europe anyway...

Like st52 said, diagrams can be found in the net, but they should be on Fender pages.

I saved some copies of Frontline to my disc because you never know when websites will stop providing certain links, as is obviously the case here.
For anyone who is interested, I uploaded them to my Box account.
Here are a few links:

Frontline 2006
Frontline 2007
Frontline 2008
Frontline 2009
Frontline 2010

A few more:

Frontline 2011
Frontline 2012
Frontline 2013

I won't keep them up for very long because I use that account for other things and I will eventually need the room.
I'll keep them up for a week or so to let the forum faithful download them but then they will be deleted to make room.
Get 'em while they're hot.
