MoFi and Fender Collaborate on American Vintage Turntable Inspired by Stratocaster History
MoFi Electronics and Fender Musical Instruments Corporation have teamed up once again to create a stunning piece of analog equipment that brings the essence of rock ‘n roll history into the modern era. Enter the Fender American Vintage Turntable, a high-performance turntable that seamlessly blends MoFi’s reputation for audiophile quality with Fender’s iconic guitar heritage. The striking sunburst finish pays homage to the legendary Stratocaster, infusing your vinyl collection with the spirit of music legends like Jimi Hendrix.
While this may not be the first collaboration between MoFi and Fender, their previous ventures have already proven their ability to combine vintage aesthetics with top-notch audio performance. The original PrecisionDeck, released in October 2021, set the standard with a price tag of around $3,500. With the limited-edition American Vintage turntable, they are taking things up a notch—fewer units, deeper heritage, and the same unwavering commitment to quality. If you were impressed by the first collaboration, you’ll be even more enthralled by this latest offering.
Crafted from solid alder wood—similar to the material used in crafting Stratocaster bodies—the turntable boasts more than just visual appeal. The chassis serves as a solid foundation for exceptional sound quality, with a finish that screams ’60s rock nostalgia. Each plinth is meticulously hand-sprayed at Fender’s California workshop, showcasing the same urethane finish that collectors covet. Just like a beloved guitar, this turntable is designed to age gracefully, developing a unique character over time.
But this turntable isn’t just about looks—it’s built to deliver exceptional performance. With electronic speed control, switching between 33.3 and 45 RPM is a breeze. The components under the hood are where the magic happens:
6.8 lb. Delrin platter for superior resonance control
10” straight aluminum tonearm with precision bearings
Cardas Audio wiring and a hardened steel inverted bearing with a sapphire thrust pad
Solid alder body with a classic tobacco sunburst finish
Removable dust cover
The American Vintage Turntable features a hardened-steel inverted bearing system that ensures smooth and precise rotation, using a combination of high-quality materials typically found in more expensive setups. With these superior components, your turntable will continue to perform flawlessly for years to come, ensuring that your music sounds just as good as the day you first listened.
With its exceptional craftsmanship and innovative design, the Fender American Vintage Turntable stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of American music. Made and assembled in the USA, this turntable represents a fusion of heritage and cutting-edge technology. Whether you’re a dedicated collector or a passionate listener, this turntable offers a superb balance of high-fidelity audio quality and timeless design. It’s more than just a piece of equipment—it’s an invitation to experience music in its purest form.
