Beskrivelse
The Fender Stories Collection pays tribute to legendary musicians and their modified Fender guitars.
With recording credits stretching across five decades, Brent Mason is one of the most prolific session guitarists of all time, featured on well over 1,000 albums, including hits by Alan Jackson, Brooks & Dunn, George Jones, Dolly Parton, Blake Shelton, Shania Twain and many more. He’s also been inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame, won a Grammy, earned twelve Guitarist of the Year awards from the Academy of Country Music, is a two-time winner of the CMA® Award Musician of the Year Award and was named one of the top ten session guitarists of all time by Guitar World magazine.
The Stories Collection Brent Mason Telecaster recreates the prized Tele he discovered in a Nashville guitar shop in the early eighties: a ‘67 model that had been stripped of its original finish and re-sprayed in gray auto primer. Brent outfitted it with new pickups and controls, as well as a bender system – transforming it into a versatile all-in-one session guitar.
Boasting a Glaser Bender system, Seymour Duncan mini-hum in the neck position, Hot Stack in the middle and Vintage Stack in the bridge, locking Sperzel tuners and Dunlop locking strap buttons – the Brent Mason Telecaster provides the special features, smooth playability and diverse range of tones to nail Brent’s platinum Nashville session sound.
Includes deluxe hardshell case.
Om Fender
Fender er nok verdens mest kendte producent af guitarer. Siden grundlæggeren Leo Fender i 1951 sendte den første Telecaster på markedet, har Fender været det mest populære mærker for guitarister i hele verden.
Leo Fender startede i efteråret 1938 “Fender’s Radio Service”. Her repararede og solgte han radioer o.lign. Efter nogle år begyndte Leo at producere guitarforstærkere og lap steel guitarer. I 1946 tog han springet og omdøbte firmaet til “Fender Electric Instrument Company” – samme år blev den legendariske Princeton introduceret.
I 1950-51 sender Fender Telecasteren på markedet, og kort efter fulgte Precision bassen sammen med Bassman forstærkeren. Samme år lukkede Leo sin radio-reparationsforretning, og fokuserede al sin energi på at producere instrumenter og forstærkere.
Få år efter, i 1954, blev Stratocaster introduceret. Hvis man mente at Telecasteren solgte godt, var det intet i forhold hvor populær Stratocasteren var og er. Lanceringen af den nye model var udslagsgivende for Fenders eksponentielle vækst. Ganske kort tid efter havde Fender over 100 ansatte, og blev solgt i hele verden.
Siden har Fender introduceret Jazz Bass, Jaguar, Jazzmaster og et væld af andre ikoniske instrumenter. Der er skrevet lange bøger om Fender, og med god grund; deres vitale rolle i udviklingen af den elektriske guitar kan ikke underkendes.
I dag producere Fender elektriske guitar, basser, nylonstrengede guitar, ukuleler, forstærkere, effekter, kabler og et væld af andet tilbehør.
