Guitars

Without a doubt, Fender guitars are the top-of-the-line
in guitars. Success in business is often measured according to the
amount of money and sales a company is able to secure. The success
of the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation proves there are two
other elements to consider: dedication and perseverance. From the
beginning, it was company owner Leo Fender's main goal to fender
guitars the best as possible. The first fruits of his labor would
prove positive his dedication He would reach his goal by designing
the Telecaster, a solid-body electric guitar with a Spanish design.
This guitar, like many Fender guitars that would follow, was the
first of its kind. Only a few years after gaining fame with the
Telecaster, Fender followed with the Precision Bass and
Stratocaster. These Fender guitars are now collector's
items.
Shortly after the success of their pioneering guitars,
the company switched management gears and was sold to CBS due to Leo
Fender failing ill. For the decade that followed, the company would
reach the pinnacle of success by riding on the coattails of their
successful Fender guitars. Luckily, CBS returned to its broadcasting
ventures and sold the company to employees who basically rebuilt the
company from the ground up. Slowly and with assurance the company
rebuilt its reputation in the amplifier and guitar industry. They
also continued the company's dedication to customize
guitars.
The Fender guitars that put the manufacturer on the map
were the Telecaster and the Stratocaster. These two electric guitars
proved that the company knew how to make great sound. Anytime a
musician looks for a guitar, the quality they most often search for
is sound.
When Leo Fender first considered joining the guitar
industry, he was actually a designer of amplifiers. When people
think of Fender guitars they often think of electric guitars. The
Fender Musical Instruments Corporation also produces a good stock of
reputable acoustic guitars. To show their versatility, the company
also created a selection of acoustic-electric and bass
guitars.
The old saying that, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"
probably applies to how Eric Clapton became associated with the
Fender company. For many years the guitar legend Eric Clapton was a
die hard Gibson guitar fan. That was until the company discontinued
his favorite Gibson guitar. Clapton finally discovered love in the
land of Fender guitars. Out of his collaborations with the company
arose the introduction of the Clapton Signature Strat guitars.
Clapton has not turned back since. The following are the unique
features of this line of guitars:
* Noiseless Pickups that are trademarked * Tremolo
bridge * Neck shaped in the form of a
"V"
Nowadays, there are very few things that last 50 years.
However, the American Telecaster has done just that. It was 50 years
ago that Fender introduced the American Telecaster into its line of
electric guitars. The Telecaster has managed to stand time because
it has adapted with it as opposed to standing still. The following
features exist on the most recent edition of the American
Telecaster:
* Signature S-1 switching system * Complementing
pickups * Traditional body
