Fender Next is Fender’s artist development program, designed to support emerging artists that represent the new face of guitar in music and culture. In 2025, Fender will select a new artist class of diverse genres, nationalities and identities for the program. Over the course of the year, we’ll provide these artists with gear and support to showcase their work, amplify their voice and introduce their music to new fans.
