Since 1946, Fender has been the driving force behind some of the most iconic sounds in music history. As the world’s leading guitar manufacturer, we’ve not only shaped the way music is made but also become a cultural symbol that resonates with musicians and music lovers worldwide.
Our Heritage: A Legacy of Innovation
Leo Fender’s vision to create instruments that were both functional and easy to use led to the birth of revolutionary products. The Telecaster, introduced in 1951, was the first mass – produced solid – body electric guitar. Its bright, clean, and cutting sound, with a prominent high – end, thick midrange, and bass, was a game – changer. It found its way into the hands of rock ‘n’ roll, R&B, and country guitarists, and its reputation as a reliable workhorse guitar endures to this day.
In the same year, we introduced the Precision Bass, liberating musicians from the confines of the upright bass. This fretted, amplifiable instrument laid the foundation for the electrified rhythm section and became an essential part of popular music.
The Stratocaster, unveiled in 1954, took the world by storm. With its contoured body, double – cutaway design, and synchronized tremolo bridge, it offered greater comfort, playability, and a new range of sounds. It remains the most popular and influential electric guitar ever made, prized by players across all genres for its sound, style, and versatility.

Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, the Strat has a model to suit your needs. The American Professional II Stratocaster, for example, comes equipped with V – Mod II pickups that deliver clear, powerful tones, and its Deep C neck shape ensures a comfortable playing experience.

- Jazzmaster and Jaguar: These offset – body guitars are known for their unique aesthetics and sound. The Jazzmaster, with its innovative electronics and vibrato system, was initially designed for the jazz market but found a home in surf rock and alternative music.

Fender’s acoustic guitars combine classic craftsmanship with modern innovation. Our range includes dreadnoughts, concert – size, and parlor guitars, each offering a unique tone.

- Jazz Bass: The Jazz Bass, or J – Bass, offers a more articulate and growly sound compared to the P – Bass. Its dual – coil pickups provide a wide range of tonal options.
