The pickups promise to deliver “an edgier, unfiltered sound” that stays articulate while also providing bite. If the pickups look familiar, that’s probably because you’ve seen them on the Player Mustang 90. The Noventa series launches with three models: a Stratocaster, Jazzmaster and Telecaster.
Fender Noventa Stratocaster

You can find it in three finishes, Crimson Red Transparent, Daphne Blue and Surf Green. The latter two models have maple fretboards, while the first has a pau ferro one.
Fender Noventa Jazzmaster

The guitar has an alder body finished in gloss polyester and comes in three colour options: the Fiesta Red and Surf Green models are paired with maple fretboards, while the Walnut one comes with a pau ferro fingerboard.
Fender Noventa Telecaster

It’s also an alder-bodied instrument that comes in three finishes. The Fiesta Red and Vintage Blonde have maple fingerboards, while the Two-colour Sunburst model has a Pau Ferro one.
