Perhaps it is just because we are partial to the first Fender colab (or maybe its the latent guitar collector buried deep inside us) but we at Audio-Head just can’t seem to get enough of the SE Fender Turntables that keep coming out of MoFi Electronics these days. The latest release announced just last week swaps out the darker Fender Precision Bass sunburst gradient for the more familiar shade of a traditional Fender Stratocastor guitar.
The ultra glossy finish of the original precisiondeck has also been updated with a new satin finish and the speed switching is now done electronically. Both decks still utilize a Delrin® platter and HRS isolation feet and are assembled in Ann Arbor, MI.
