Fender electric guitars were the first solid body electric guitars to be offered on the mass market. Other companies actually fabricated and sold electric guitars before the Fender Company, but none were as commercially successful as Fender’s.

Fender’s Telecaster served as the inspiration for other manufacturers to make their own versions of the solid body electric guitar.

Fender electric guitars are manufactured Mexico and Asia as well as in the United States. The Fender Company began as an electronic repair business.

Some of Fender’s electric guitar signature features include the larger headstock shape and bound necks with block shaped position markers. The neck joint on most electric guitars is a four-bolt joint, but in Fender guitars, it is now a three-bolt joint intended for better sound. Fender electric guitars are also identified by a second string tree for the middle G and D strings.

The Fender electric guitar is an excellent choice for the serious guitarist who wants a famous brand at an affordable price.

Buying a guitar is a big decision.  Buying a poor quality guitar is setting yourself or your child up for disappointment.

Fender is a great company to buy your first guitar from.  Fender was the first company to mass produce solid-body electric guitars and they still dominate the market.  Fender guitars look great, offer a great tone quality, and they have stood the test of time.  They are used by students and guitar heroes alike.  To many people, the Strat is the guitar that they think of when someone says electric guitar

Fender’s reputation for making quality guitars is apparent when you consider how many famous musicians use their instruments.  Here’s a short and very incomplete list of some great players who have sported Fender guitars:

Buddy Guy

Jimmy Hendrix

Stevie Ray Vaughn

Robert Cray

John Mayer

John Frusciante

many many more…

If I were to recommend a Fender guitar to a beginner, I would recommend something in the Squire series.  These are great introductory guitars created for beginners and students.  If I were to recommend a Fender guitar for collectors, I would recommend a Classic Fender Stratocaster from the 1950’s.  I have absolutely no affiliation with Fender Guitars.

For many years the guitar legend Eric Clapton was a die hard Gibson guitar fan. That was until the company discontinued his favorite Gibson guitar.

One of the most popular guitar companies and definitely one of the most influential contributions ever in modern music was the Fender guitar. The inventor of the Fender guitar, Leo Fender, developed a solid-body guitar in 1951 called the Broadcaster. Fender went out and asked professional guitarists and Fender staff what they wanted in a guitar so he could improve the Telecaster.

Guitars and Basses were not all that Fender produced during this time. A group of investors and Fender employees purchased the Fender Company and put William Schultz in charge. With the ownership including people that have such a passion for guitars, like the Fender employees, Fender got even better.

The Fender Custom Shop is located in Corona, California where they make custom guitars for professional guitar players and guitar enthusiasts. Fender still thinks like this today and continue to give their customers the best Fender guitar that they can make. Some of the great guitar players that love their Fender guitars are Buddy Guy, Eric Clapton, Eric Johnson, George Harrison, Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, John 5, John Lennon, Keith Richards, Pete Townshend, Richie Kotzen, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Yngwie Malmsteen.
