The History Of Guitar Fenders

By Bill McRea

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. 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. 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. For a complete list, visit the official Fender® website.

Fender® also boasts a list of artists who play their electric guitars. Fender ’62 Stratocaster Reissue

Fender Starter Guitar Review

By Mike Ferraro

Everyone loves music. A half decent cheap guitar used to cost a couple of hundred dollars. Most parents would love to see their kids learn an instrument and develop their musical talents. Most parents also fear that the novelty will wear off of the item and the instrument will just collect dust in the corner, after spending hundreds, if not thousands of dollars on instruments and equipment.

Thankfully enough, fender guitars has released a VERY affordable starter pack, called the Fender Starcaster Starter Kit. Not only do you get a high quality great sounding guitar, it comes with a soft case, a guitar amplifier, guitar picks, a patch cord, and a music book.
