Fender Guitars
Leo Fender developed the solid-body guitar design in the mid 40's. Since then, Fender guitars have become synonymous with craftmanship, creativity and free spirit. The instuments, particularly the Stratocaster and Telecaster, have helped define the sound and "image" of rock n' roll to this day.

A perfectly constructed canvas
I love my Fender Roscoe Beck 5 string bass, it's a perfectly constructed canvas on which I can express my saddness, my joy, my anger and my love. I can make it sing with a warm smooth voice, or I can make it growl like an American muscle car. It is part of me, and I'm part of it.

Nothing else like it
P Bass. Nothing else like it in the world. Smooth, sexy, funky, pounding, low-end shake your ass and go where the bassman goes. And girls love guitars. And bass players do it with their fingers.

The Fender Stratocaster
A classic instrument, better than the Telecaster, synonomous with the guitar greats, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan. The stratocaster is crisp, funky and expressive. It's instantly recognisable as a symbol of rock'n'roll spanning 4 decades from the 60's to the 00s.

Hear them, cheer them, caress them
Played and endorsed by some of the legendary figures of modern music, the Fender sound and style has been emulated by other brands so frequently, that the "Strat" has become the standard for what people think an electric guitar should look and sound like. See them, hear them, cheer them, caress them. Fender has transcended musical instrumentation and is as beloved as those that make them "sing."
