Fender

When you sling a Telecaster® or Stratocaster® over your shoulder, you have a wonderful past and a brilliant future on your side. When you hit that perfect stance with your Jazzmaster® or that sneer to go along with your Jaguar®, you become part of the real thing. You're playing guitars that are not just recognized, but loved. For well over 60 years now, from rock 'n' roll to blues and soul, and from country and funk to metal and punk (and a great deal more), the greatest music the world has ever heard has been played on the real thing -- Fender electric guitars.

Until 1951, there was no such thing as an electric bass guitar. So when Fender introduced the Precision Bass® that year, it was not just a new instrument, but a new kind of instrument that created a new kind of musician: the electric bassist. Who else can claim that? The Precision Bass and the sleek Jazz Bass® (1960) profoundly revolutionized music as the undisputed worldwide standards for electric bass sound, feel and performance. Ever since, bass players everywhere have one or both.

Fender offers a full range of quality acoustic instruments for everyone from beginners to hobbyists to professionals. It's a comprehensive family, with everything from full-size dreadnought and jumbo guitars to orchestra, concert and parlor-size models; from nylon-string classical guitars to long-scale acoustic basses; and from artist signature models to special limited editions and specialty folk and world music instruments. Fender acoustic guitars continue to evoke the sun and fun of their '60s-era Southern California ancestry, delivering great sound and value and ensuring a truly resonant future.

A Fender instrument doesn't sound like anything without the other essential component in the equation -- the amp. In fact, well before Fender made their most famous instruments, they made rugged, reliable and loud amps that were a marked improvement over anything that came before. To this day, from the strength of their enclosures to the muscle and finesse of their speakers, great Fender amplifiers are still the best way to hear the sound of great Fender instruments.
