Fender Pawn Shop Super-Sonic Dark Gunmetal Flake

General

The notorious Squier Vista Super Sonic, a guitar from the late 1990s, was revived by Fender in the form of this Pawn Shop Super Sonic. This solid-body guitar has a look all of its own thanks to a reversed headstock, exciting Dark Gunmetal Flake finish, Jazz Bass knobs and a divergent scale length of just 61 centimetres. Its details make this guitar a visual and technical marvel.

Fender Pawn Shop Super Sonic: distinctive look and feel

The Super Sonic has a body that looks somewhat like that of the Fender Jaguar. Its shiny grey finish goes exceptionally well with the parchment pickguard. Two Atomic Humbucking pickups provide it with a proper output. Like the Squier Vista Super Sonic, this guitar features reverse-wired volume knobs, which means that the volume knob for the bridge pickup is closest to the bridge. The C-profile neck and rosewood fretboard allow for smooth playing, and the vintage-style machine heads and bridge assure overall stability and a rich tone.

Pawn Shop series guitars

Fender's Pawn Shop collection comprises an ever growing range of unusual guitars and bass guitars that were inspired by striking and rare Fender products from the '60s and '70s. Some of these guitars actually saw the light of day but are truly a rare breed these days. Where it comes to sound and build quality, the Pawn Shop models are very much up to date and provide an interesting mixture of various Fender features.
