Melbourne's CBD Music Store

If you’ve ever done the “half-unzip-and-slide-the-guitar-out” move backstage, squeezed onto public transport with a flimsy gig bag, or winced watching your case get set down a little too hard… you already know: your instrument case matters.

At Coleman’s Music in South Melbourne, we’re all about helping players find the right guitar — whether it’s straight off the factory floor or has a few stories in its frets already. New or preloved, every guitar has its place. The question is: what’s right for you?

Fender has been developing modelling guitar amplifiers for over two decades, evolving from early designs like the Cyber Twin and G-DEC into today’s Mustang GTX and Mustang LT series. In this article, I break down how Fender’s modelling amps have changed over time, what each generation was designed to do, and how the current Fender modelling amps compare for home use, practice, and live performance.

At Colemans Music in South Melbourne, we always encourage players to plug in, turn up, and spend time with amps like the Fender ’62 Super. It is the best way to know if it fits your style. If you are curious about where this amp sits in Fender’s history, or whether it suits your playing, we are always happy to talk it through.
