Fender announces American Standard string promotion
Gear giant to give-away strings with Strats and Teles
Fender has announced a new promotion that aims to encourage European sales of their already popular American Standard range with a year's supply of free strings.
Anyone buying an American Standard Strat or Tele between 22 August and 31 December 2011 from an authorised Fender dealer will be eligible to take part in the promotion.
