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.
