Fender Air Valves

[rmason1]

Does anyone know if it is possible to fit replacement Fender Air Valves and if so, where to source them.

Thanks

Depends on the make of fender

Fenders are solid wood unless you mean air guitars.

Re wooden Fenders What about the Telecaster?
On a serious note, I wonder if our poster has those fenders that have a plug rather than a valve. I have found that the only way to top up the air is to use a garage airline, blow the thing up, and then perform a lightning shuffle to get the plug back in before all the air escapes. You can over-inflate slightly to allow for the initial pressure loss.

Yeh, but I've tried that method but the damned air goes on escaping from around the plug! I posted on here a couple of months ago about the same problem, but even refitting the plug with mastic hasn't prevented the fenders going soft. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

I'm really fed up about it 'cos I resent having to fork out for new fenders when mine are (otherwise) in very good condition. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

Can anybody point me in the direction of a make that use a proper brass or other non-ferrous metal valve, just in case I do have to replace mine? /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
