Fender
The
Fender Musical Instrument Corporation is one of the most popular and widely recognised manufacturers of guitars, basses and
amplifiers in the world. The invention of the first mass-produced
electric guitar, dubbed
Telecaster (originally named Broadcaster, a name which was already registered by the Gretsch company for a line of drums), and the first
electric bass guitar, the Precision Bass (or P-Bass) can be attributed to the Fender company.
Leo Fender can also be credited with the invention of the
Stratocaster (or Strat), an icon of modern rock music.
