Fender and Loog have expanded their child-sized instrument collaboration with a three-string Precision Bass and a matching Butterscotch Blonde Telecaster, both tied to the 75th anniversaries of Fender’s foundational designs. The Precision model is Loog’s first bass, while the Telecaster brings the familiar slab-body outline into the company’s compact format. Fender announced both instruments on November 4 and says they are available immediately through Fender, Loog and selected retailers.
Each model uses three strings, a short scale, one pickup and a standard quarter-inch output, so it can connect to a conventional amplifier rather than a toy-specific system. The US price is $229.99 per instrument; Fender also lists £199, €229, A$329 and ¥39,600 regional prices. Precision Bass finishes include White Blonde, Candy Apple Red and Sea Foam Green, plus a limited Hello Kitty Black version. The Telecaster arrives in the classic Butterscotch Blonde look.
The instruments include access to the Loog learning app and a Fender activity book. That pairing is central to the collaboration: Loog’s simplified string count is intended to reduce the number of notes and fingerings a beginner must manage, while the Fender branding and shapes connect the lesson experience with instruments that children may already recognize. Wallpaper’s product coverage also highlights the bass as the collaboration’s notable first, rather than simply another reduced-size guitar.
For families, teachers and players shopping for a first instrument, the important distinction is that these are functional amplified instruments built around a simplified layout. The Precision Bass opens a beginner path that Loog previously did not offer, while the anniversary Telecaster gives the same ecosystem an electric-guitar option. Neither replaces a full four-string bass or six-string guitar, but both provide a deliberately smaller starting point with recognizable hardware conventions.
Why it matters
The release gives young beginners a genuinely amplified three-string bass option and extends Loog’s simplified learning system beyond guitar for the first time.
