Hey everyone,

With the holiday season in full swing, there's probably plenty of great gear on your wish list. But there's always that one incredible gift you'll never forget—the one that'll always be the workhorse in your arsenal. We want to know about the best Fender gear you've ever received—even if it's a gift you bought for yourself.

Thanks all!

The Fender Custom Shop Stool is quite nice as a gift, but hard to find in Europe

Long time no see Alain - good to see you again.

My workhorse is from a different manufacturer, but I would say that the standard tele I got as a present is a good contender. It might not be as good as the Tele Select HH, but I also don't have to be as afraid of damaging it.
But what's given me the most joy is the slightly-too-small Fender ladies T-shirt I gave as a present last year.... O:-)

This is an easy one...the Fender F210 Acoustic my wife gave me for our first wedding anniversary. Tone has mellowed over the 32 years I have had it, and has developed a really fine acoustic tone. I have played "Better" acoustics over the years, but this one has way too much sentimental value to ever let it go.

As a gift, a Fender Super Reverb in 1965, my Dad let me choose the Super over the Twin. He was a great guy, I miss him, R.I.P. Dad. 8)

I am desperately in love with the new Ocean Blue American Standard Dimension Bass IV - the perfect gift for any time of year.

Hello stranger :wink:

My favorite Fender gift was my '67 Telecaster. Seems like years ago...well, it was!

Do gifts purchased for myself, by myself, count? :D

I consider all my self-purchased Fender gear gifts. However, my most valued 'Fender Gifts' are a copy of the book ''Fender The Golden Years'' containing a written sentiment from Mike Eldred, a copy of the CD ''61/49" by "The Mike Eldred Trio'', and a sign CD entitled "From Memory" by the band ''Kings of Last Call''. 8) Most excellent music los dos. Little things mean a lot. :wink.

My favorite is my 1967 Fender Telecaster I ordered and received in 1967. I bought it money earned playing out. I still own it.

Seeing that I live in Rhode Island and am not eligible for any of your give aways or contests because of some stupid state law we have, my favorite X-Mas Fender gift would be anything that you fine folks at Fender would send me. ( MIM STRAT ! Hint. Hint ! ) LOL.

Best Fender Gift I got was this year a 2013 FSR Fender Select Strat in Dark Brown. My mom passed away from cancer and I got this to honor her. Emailed Fender with the serial number because I couldn't find the color in the chart. Customer service replied and told me it was a limited production guitar. Most posts I read indicated it would be a production run from 250 or more. I replied to customer service and they said my Strat was numbered to 25 produced. :shock: Man, was I happy! An awesome guitar, an awesome find and a great way to remember my mom. Best early Christmas gift I've ever got. Thanks Fender Crew for an awesome piece of art!
