Fender introduced a new DAW. Digital Audio Workstation. Fender Studio 8. There is nothing wrong with this software, except that the company forgot about the audio producer who needs a good DAW to produce audio commercials for broadcast on radio, TV, YouTube, and the like. I can understand since Fender sells musical instruments; however, the standard in production for Commericals is manufactured by AVID called PRO TOOLS. Pro Tools, when it works, is awesome! There was a catch phrase there- WHEN IT WORKS. It's very buggy, and over the years has driven me to distraction by the nonsense one has to put up with, yet for audio engineers who produce commercials that have to be 29.9 seconds or 59.9 with voice over, music, sound effects, and such, Pro Tools has it over the other DAWs when it works! I recently purchased Fender's Studio 8 Pro- and it operates so well on my high-end Mac. It just starts and is ready, but it lacks the features that Pro Tools has, so trying to get a bunch of commercials done in Studio 8 by Fender is a task! Fender has overlooked the audio engineer and solely concentrated on music production. BEATS AND BARS has no real time in seconds and minutes, and when a waveform is highlighted, it does not provide the time. There is no smart tool that lets you really manipulate your work with a quick swipe of the mouse. Its very tedious, and the real kicker- you cannot make a file and designate your saved work or bounce down your production to that self-made file folder, which makes organization a task. It has built-in defaults. It tells you where it wants to place your work, which is crazy! This is my own experience, and for any audio engineer wanting to move away from Pro Tools because it's not rock-solid, this Fender Studio could be great. But for commercials and such, it's really not ready for prime time. I would say look elsewhere. I don't know where yet, but this Fender 8 will drive you nuts because of what it will not do and what it forces you to do. Just my two cents minus inflation,

I bought a Revelator io44 interface, and the box explicitly promises a permanent license for Studio One Artist. But when I try to register the product, it redirects me to Fender's website, and that version is gone. Instead, they give you a temporary trial of Fender Studio Pro. This is highly misleading. The Artist version is permanent—even if it's inferior to the Pro, I wouldn't need to spend more money unless I wanted to. With this temporary Pro version, my access expires in December, forcing me to either buy a new version or be left with no DAW at all. What's worse is that the Revelator io44 was built to work directly with the PreSonus/Fender ecosystem. They are essentially forcing me to buy something I already paid for when I bought the interface. I want them to either grant me the Artist version or give me the Pro version for free since the Artist version is missing. You can't do this to consumers; it's completely dishonest.

Hice un pedido está mañana, pagado con PayPal y no he recibido ningún correo de confirmación pero se ha cobrado. Llevo hora y media intentando contactar con Fender y es como una empresa fantasma, no teléfono ni mail con respuesta ni nada, me hace pensar en el servicio postventa que deben tener y me planteo irme a la otra marca. Llamo desde España, en su web indican el.telefonl.+34911142131, el cual dice que ya no existe el sitio y cuelga. He rellenado 4 Fórmularios está mañana y no llega nada. No puedo hacer llamada internacional.

2 achats , 2 vérifications usine graves non effectuées . Première guitare , switch défectueux , branchements non soudés . Micros pas branchés . Guitare 2 : le jack s’est dévissé et barré au fond de l’électronique général. Résultat , guitare 1 et 2 en réparation et puni de jouer pendant 1 mois … 😭😭 je voulais m’acheter la Fender America Pro 2 mais la , j’ai un doute sur la marque … Au moins s Gibson : c’est garantie à vie . Épisode deux : Retour de ma guitare des ateliers FENDER : la Guitare à 3 nouveaux pocs sur le corps ! Réponse de Fender Paris , soit je vous donne 200€ et tu gardes ta guitare, soit on la garde, je vous rembourse et vous achetez autre chose ! Et comme si ça suffisait, il s’est mis à rire de moi pour avoir acheter une Squier , un gros bad game monté en Chine et non qualitatif ! Vraiment ? Comme les PRS ?!! Je suis horrifié de ce comportement honteux de la marque ! Vous osez cracher sur mon budget et vos propres guitares !!! Mais c’est du délire . Et George Harrison ? Il jouait sur une squier parce qu’il aimait de la crotte ? Je crois pas non . Je ferais en sorte que pour la peine, cet avis soit bien diffusé de partout … pas une légende ! Mais Une honte !

Ordered a pair of guitars from the Fender UK site which took a little longer than expected to arrive but that can be forgiven due to it being festive frenzy season as they eventually arrived on 23rd December (ordered 16th December). First guitar turned up (Squier P Bass) and it appears one the dials has become detached internally and rattling around in the pick guard. Not good. It’s a Squier so doesn’t come in any decent packaging so this is either a factory issue or the box maybe took a knock in transit. There were also some scratches and paint defects which are a nuisance but the dial issue made the guitar useless. Second guitar turned up (Telecaster Ultra II) and due to being in a molded deluxe case, it should be absolutely pristine. Open the case up and the guitar looked fine but then I found a pretty obvious tooling mark in the fretboard near the nut. Probably borderline acceptable on a cheap £150 Squier, but not a chance on an Ultra II. How QC didn’t pick this up or deem it acceptable for a £2000 guitar is beyond me as you’d expect perfection out the box for that kind of money. I reached out to Fender Customer Support the same day I received both guitars (23rd December) and they quickly responded & eventually acknowledged a week later the Squier as being faulty & sent over a shipping label (30th December). This took a little longer than ideal to sort but granted it’s the Xmas period. The big problem is Fender STILL have not even acknowledged the issue with the Telecaster and we are now approaching 2 weeks since I first raised it with them. I did send a reminder email stating my rejection of the Telecaster under the Consumer Contracts Regs & Consumer Rights Act due to quality issues on the 29th December and they still have not responded as of today. I can appreciate the Xmas period is busy for customer service, but 2 weeks to not even acknowledge a raised issue with a flagship guitar, yet they quickly got in touch about a Squier issue? Come on…….. It also needs to be mentioned that the customer service telephone number provided for UK & Ireland on their website is disconnected. Not helpful if you need to get in touch with them! Unfortunately after speaking to a few local guitarists about this issue, it seems Fender have a reputation for being hard to contact in the UK which is why I was recommended to put a review on Trustpilot to get their attention!

Placed my order on November 22. Received email that order had been placed and my credit card was very quickly charged. I have received no other communication since then. No updates on progress or expected shipping. Zero communication.

I haven’t gotten my product yet so I’m unsure why you would be sending me a review

I ordered the limited edition road worn p bass and received a jazzmaster by mistake? The whole exchange/return process was not very well explained, then the original bass i ordered was sold-out by the time I tried to make the return. Luckily I was able to finalize the process with some help from customer service but it was definitely an inconvenience especially for my first direct purchase from Fender. When my bass finally arrived, the case that shipped with it wasn't properly glued during production so I had to fix it myself not a big deal but still inconvenient especially for the price tag and prior blunder.
