Fender® is currently one of the premier electric guitar manufacturers out there. The instrument manufacturing aspect of the company had its beginnings in 1946 when Leo Fender began building them. However, the company actually started in 1938 and was called Fender s Radio Services. He was actually a skilled technician who repaired radios, phonograph players, amplifiers, and other electronic instruments.

His experience repairing amplifiers actually marked the beginning of the Fender® manufacturer as we know it today. As a technician he had first hand knowledge of the design problems and issues. He began building his own amps in an effort to solve some of these problems.

He then partnered with Clayton Orr Kauffman to form a company called K & F Manufacturing Corp. which specialized in various electric devices and instruments (they made and designed them as well as sold them). Together they created an electric Hawaiian steel guitar. It was shortly after this that Fender and Kauffman had different visions for the business. Kauffman wanted to focus more on repair and Fender wanted to focus on the design aspect. This is when Fender started his company, the Fender Electric Instrument Manufacturing Corporation and is now called the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation.

Fender® played a huge role in creating solid body guitars and making them widely available. One of their most popular models, the Fender® Stratocaster, or Strat for short was the first electric guitar with a solid body. Each year, they expand on their current guitar line while still making those old favorites available.

Now, there are over 26 styles of Fender® electric guitars available. The Stratocaster line has expanded to include special series modeled after celebrity artists such as David Gilmour of Pink Floyd, Eric Clapton, Eric Johnson, and Stevie Ray Vaughn. Other models include other Stratocaster models, the Toronado, the Jazzmaster, the Bronco, and the Mustang. For a complete list, visit the official Fender® website.

Fender® also boasts a list of artists who play their electric guitars. These include Sting, Eric Johnson, the late Stevie Ray Vaughn, Yngwie Malmstein, Roscoe Beck, and Robert Cray. For a complete list of artists and their profiles you can visit the Fender® website.

Here is what some users have to say about their Fender® guitars (multiple sources_:

Fender 62 Stratocaster Reissue

The tone is fantastic. you really get those screaming highs and the piano like projection of the low strings is gorgeous. through my line 6 flextone II amp it s just a HUGE tone. great looks. great neck, great pickups, no shoddy parts anywhere!

Fender Deluxe Fat Strat

I love the array of sounds. The Texas special pickups are hot, and between the 5 pickup combinations with a little tweaking on the tone adjustment, i can t think of a tone you can t get out of this guitar. The neck is smooth, and construction is solid. The Floyd Rose tremelo is easy to make quick tune adjustments with.

Which Fender would you pick?

Down to the wire: I will buy either a Japanese made Telecaster or a Japanese made Jazzmaster. I play solo jazz guitar ; finger style, mainly standards, along with Beatles tunes mixed in.

charlie’ right about the Jazzy’s being a little more high maintenence, but it’s definately worth it. I own an American Telecaster and an American Vintage Jaguar and I love them both. This is basically what you’d have to do to make them worthy guitars.

Tele – swap out the Japanese pickups for American ones.
Jazzy – swap out the Japanese pickups for American ones, swap out the bridge for a Mustang bridge (the Japanese bridges are even worse than American). There is also a possible need for neck shimming.

Both may need some fret-filing, sometimes the frets can stick out past the fretboard (ouch)

that said, I would probably go with the tele. its more reliable, and playable out of the box. if you want to learn to keep up the Jazz, go for it.
