Fender was founded in California in 1946 as a musical instrument manufacturer. In the early 1990s, they moved their headquarters to Scottsdale, Arizona. Fender is known primarily for being one of the world's top guitar makers, but the company also makes other musical instruments, including bass amplifiers and public address equipment.
The founder, Leo Fender, started as an electronics technician, repairing radios, amplifiers, PA systems, and phonographs, among other technological pieces, before he began building amplifiers using designs of his own. Over the years, his company has inspired millions of artists worldwide through countless inventions and innovations.
For more than 70 years, the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation (FMIC) has provided talented individuals with the tools they need to start their musical legacy. FMIC's reach goes beyond musical instruments, offering an array of innovative digital experiences that facilitate musical expression.
Various Fender Instruments
Since its founding, the Arizona-based musical instruments maker has maintained its reputation as America's go-to musical instrument brand. Many artists, including most acclaimed musical icons, have used Fender instruments at some point. Fender's core of musical instruments and accessories include:
Guitars
As stated earlier, Fender is one of the world's top guitar makers. Currently, the company has more than a hundred different electric guitars in its catalog — across its model range and series. Some of Fender's most popular guitar brands include:
- Stratocaster
- Telecaster
- Jazzmaster
- Jaguar
- Mustang
- Lead
Fender guitar models are largely based on body type. These models look quite similar to many, but they sound quite different owing to the different hardware, pickups, and configurations. The woods used in their construction will also vary across models and series ranges.
Amplifiers
Many professionals in the music industry have heralded Fender guitar amplifiers as being top of the class. Fender amps get a lot of praise for their clean sound and warm tone, ideal for classic rock. A 1960s Fender Twin Reverb was Kurt Cobain's preferred amp.
The Fender Deluxe Reverb is hailed as the ultimate workhorse in guitar amplification. Other popular Fender amplifiers include:
- Blues Junior IV
- Mustang LT25
- Acoustic 100
- Mustang Micro
- Tone Master Twin Reverb
Fender is a heavyweight in the amplifier game. The company's guitar amplifier offerings span an expansive range of models and series, from the affordable Mustang LT range to the Tone Master and the fully featured GTX series.
Parts
Fender has been making some of the world's best guitars and amplifiers for more than seven decades. While their products have shown they can stand the test of time, Fender understands that nothing lasts forever. Eventually, your Fender guitar or amp will give in to wear and tear.
The company helps users get the best out of their instruments by providing replacement parts. So, aside from the actual instruments, Fender makes guitar, bass, and amplifier parts, including pickups, hardware, necks and bodies, tuning pegs, knobs, footswitches, and so much more.
Fender also makes other accessories such as strings, cases, straps, and clothing. Their guitar and bass parts and amplifier parts are of the same great quality as the original parts that came with the instrument.
