Last month I put up a fairly in-depth survey with the aim of discovering which left handed Fenders you would like to see happen next. And the results are now in!
Over 300 of you kindly took the time to participate, so thanks for that! I will be sending this data to Fender, but feel free to share this page with them to make sure they see it!
There was just too much data to display all three of the surveys in a single post. So this article will cover the electric guitar survey, and the bass and acoustic results will be in subsequent posts.
How Much Do Guitar Lessons Cost? Our Lessons Prices Survey
We’ll start off by looking at the more generalised questions, and then we’ll dive into the options you chose for each individual guitar. At the end of each guitar section I have summed up the most popular options and mocked up an example of what the guitars might look like.
And FYI, if some of the choices I gave on each guitar seem a bit odd, it’s because I only offered options currently offered by Fender on right handed models. This was to make sure that we didn’t come up with guitars that Fender would be less likely to create.
I asked you to rate your interest in each model on a scale from 1 to 10. The chart below tallies all of the points that each guitar received and displays them in order of popularity.
Kylie Keen To Win 2008 Gold Guitar
To be honest I am surprised that the Strat and Tele topped the polls. I had expected the offsets to be the most sought after – a surprising result! Everyone loves the two icons!
The majority of people are looking for a guitar from Fender’s more affordable ranges. The most popular price range of $500-$750 means that in general we are looking at guitars most likely from the Player Series. This was closely followed by the $750-$1000 range, which is roughly Vintera Series territory.
I don’t think it will come as much of a shock that an HSS Strat was the winner here – you are always asking for these! There was a surprising amount of love for the hardtail here, but the classic Fender tremolo edged it out to become the top overall choice.

If we take all of the most popular options here we are looking at a HSS Player Strat with a rosewood fingerboard, and finished in Lake Placid Blue. It will have a standard Fender tremolo and a body of Alder.
If we take all of the most popular options here we are looking at a S-S Player Tele with a maple fingerboard, and finished in Lake Placid Blue. It will have a 6-saddle bridge and a body of Alder.
This guitar already exists as a left handed model in some other colours, so it would seem Fender is already on the right track here! Just a quick color change needed.

If we take all of the most popular options here we are looking at a S-S Player Jaguar with a rosewood fingerboard, and finished in Lake Placid Blue.
Player Jag with a S-S configuration, so unfortunately I doubt this one would happen at the moment. So we could compromise and get almost all the features we want with the H-S Player Jaguar.
Offer the S-S configuration. The Vintera Series was the second most popular range here, so I think this would also be a good option. I’ve shown it below with matching headstock, but there is also a plain option.

If we take all of the most popular options here, we are looking at a S-S Player Jaguar with a rosewood fingerboard, Jazzmaster tremolo, and finished in Daphne Blue.
We have the same issue as with the Jaguar above – the Player Series Jazzmaster is not available with a S-S configuration. So we can either compromise and opt for the second most popular H-H option and get a Player Jaguar…
Or! We can spend a little more cash and choose a Vintera ’60s Jazzmaster shown below. This would allow for the more traditional pickup layout. Also available without matching headstock.

If we take all of the most popular options here, we are looking at a S-S Player Mustang with a rosewood fingerboard, Mustang tremolo, and finished in Lake Placid Blue.
Or alternatively we can drop a little more coin on the Vintera ’60s Mustang to get all the features we wanted. This exact model is available right handed (albeit it with a Pau Ferro fingerboard), so this seems like an option that could happen!
If we take all of the most popular options here, we are looking at a H-S Player Duo-Sonic with a maple fingerboard, and finished in Daphne Blue.
Left Handed Fender Guitar & Bass Survey
It would certainly seem that as long as Fender concentrates on left handed Player and potentially Vintera Series guitars finished in Lake Placid Blue/Daphne Blue or thereabouts, they can’t go too far wrong!
It would also seem that a lot of people would like to see some more guitars from Squier’s excellent Classic Vibe range (me included!). In most cases the Classic Vibe series was the third most popular price point, and in couple it was second. A lot of love for some more affordable options from the southpaw army.
Help Fender to get a hold of this info by sharing the link with them on their social channels. Let’s try and make some interesting new lefty guitars happen!

The COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting global lockdown are largely responsible for this increase in demand.
As people continued to spend more time at home, many looked for ways to occupy their time and learn new skills. For some, this meant taking up a musical instrument. The guitar is a particularly popular choice, as it is relatively easy to learn and can be played without expensive gear or lessons.
Guitar Lessons Survey
This newfound interest in the guitar is reflected in sales figures. In the US, guitar sales reached $1.3 billion in 2020, an increase of 60% from 2019. This trend shot to 2023 and is expected to continue in 2024 and beyond, as people continue to search for ways to entertain themselves and express their creativity.
So, what does this mean for the future of the guitar industry? Let’s take a look at some guitar sales statistics to find out.
Gibson holds the largest share at 34%, followed by Fender at 30%. Ibanez, Yamaha, Epiphone, and other brands make up the rest of the market.

The used guitar market was valued at $1.4 billion in 2020 and is expected to grow to $2.1 billion by 2025, according to a report by IBIS World.
In 2019, Reverb.com sold $200 million worth of used musical instruments and gear, an increase of 50% from the previous year. Guitars made up the lion’s share of these sales, accounting for $130 million.
This growth is being driven by a number of factors, including the rising popularity of vintage guitars, the increasing affordability of used guitars, and the growing number of guitar players.

, which account for 70% of all sales. Acoustic guitars make up the second largest segment, with a market share of 30%.
The data in our report comes from several sources including a google poll we conducted, NAMM (the National Association of Music Merchants), IBIS World, Music Trade Association, and Reverb.com.
Overall, the data reflects what is happening in the guitar market. There are a few discrepancies between our data and the official data, but nothing that is statistically significant.
The Great Cbg Survey Of 2016
Our google poll for example showed that the 18-24 age group had the highest percentage of guitar purchases, while NAMM showed that the 25-34 age group had the highest percentage.
This difference could be due to the fact that our poll was not representative of the entire population. NAMM’s data, on the other hand, is based on a survey of 2, 000 American music store owners, so it is more likely to be accurate.
