1970 Fender Bronco Guitar + 1968 Fender Bronco Amp – Vintage Matched Set!
 
A 1970 Fender Bronco guitar paired with its perfectly matched 1968 Fender Bronco tube amp. Originally introduced in 1967 as a student model setup, the Bronco line was Fender’s answer to players just starting out—affordable, stylish, and packed with Fender tone.
Though intended for beginners, these instruments have since become sought-after by collectors and players alike for their unique character, short production run, and undeniable vintage mojo.
This set is in very good original condition, with only the tremolo bar missing.
 
The Guitar – 1970 Fender Bronco (Fiesta Red)
 
Introduced in ’67 as Fender’s new student guitar, the Bronco was made in only one version: a single-pickup, short-scale model with a distinctive tremolo system designed specifically for it. This 1970 Fiesta Red Bronco is an all-original survivor, with the kind of natural wear and patina that gives it authentic vintage vibe.

The Amp – 1968 Fender Bronco (Vibro Champ Variant)
 
The Bronco Amp was introduced alongside the guitar in 1967, marketed as its dedicated partner. In truth, it’s essentially a Vibro Champ in disguise—a compact all-tube combo with lush tremolo and classic silverface styling. Produced only until 1981, the Bronco Amp is now a hidden gem among Fender collectors.

The Bronco line was never a huge seller for Fender, which makes surviving matched sets like this exceptionally rare. What began as a “student guitar and amp” package has grown into a collectible piece of Fender’s late-’60s history. With its short production span, unique design features, and connection to Fender’s golden era, this matched set represents both playability and investment value.
