Instrument Owner's Manuals

All of the manuals are saved in Adobe® PDF® format. You must download and install the FREE Adobe Acrobat Viewer to view, read or print these files. If you do not have the Adobe Acrobat Reader you may download it directly from the Adobe Site.  

The manuals listed below are scans of the original hardcopy manuals taken from our archives, that have been converted to PDF documents.  Unfortunately, hardcopy original manuals from this archive are no longer available. However, hardcopy originals marked as current may still be ordered from the address below.

* Please note, separate manuals are not available for every guitar model. We currently produce only one encompassing manual for the entire family of Fender® electric guitars and basses, and a warranty booklet only, for the acoustic instrument line.

All hardcopy original manuals and photocopies copies are $5.00 each. (Includes shipping and handling charges.) Please send a check or money order in U.S. funds, ($5.00 for each manual), along with a letter detailing your request and the specific manual you need, to the following address.

The table below lists all of the instrument Owner's Manuals we currently have available. Manuals are listed alphabetically by model, with the approximate date when the original manual was produced. 

If you have a copy of an old Fender® guitar owner's manual not shown in this archive, we'd love to have a copy to post here as well. A PDF would be great, or even a scanned JPEG, GIF or TIFF that we can convert would be fine. You may e-mail it directly to consumerrelations@fender.com. If you don't have the capability to create one of these document formats, and you would be willing to send in your hard copy to the address above, we'd be happy to scan it and return it to you.
