Musikmesse 2011: Fender’s biggest announcement of 2011’s Frankfurt show is, without a doubt, the Pawn Shop Series. A brand-new range of electrics inspired by some of the company’s more leftfield instruments from the mid-1960s to the mid-'70s.

But that’s not all. This year we were lucky enough to get a closer look at the Super-Sonic 100 amp and Classic Player guitars with new finishes. Not to mention Jackson’s latest Phil Demmel Signature King V additions, new EVH Wolfgang models and four brand-new Takamine acoustics.
