Fender is an American instrument manufacturer founded by Leo Fender in Fullerton, California, in 1946. Its bolt-on-neck solidbody designs were among the first electric guitars conceived for mass production rather than one-off craft assembly. The Telecaster and Stratocaster set the template for the modern electric guitar, and the Precision Bass and Jazz Bass did the same for the electric bass; the offset Jazzmaster, Jaguar and Mustang followed. Fender instruments are central to blues, country, surf, rock, funk and pop, and the company has an equally long history in guitar amplification.
