In 1951 Leo Fender introduced a prototype solid-body guitar that would eventually be called the Telecaster guitar. The Fender Tele, as it was often called then and still is today, was the first solid-body Spanish-style electric guitar to be commercially mass-produced.

Fender Musical Instruments Corporation (FMIC) is the world's foremost manufacturer of guitars, amplifiers and related equipment since 1946. The Fender name has become synonymous with all things rock 'n' roll. Iconic Fender instruments such as the Telecaster, Stratocaster, Precision Bass and Jazz Bass guitars are known worldwide as the instruments that started the rock revolution, and they continue to be highly prized by today's guitarists and collectors.

Fender has touched and transformed music worldwide and in nearly every genre: rock 'n' roll, country and western, jazz, rhythm and blues and many others. Everyone from beginners and hobbyists to the world's most acclaimed artists and performers have used Fender guitars and amps. Legendary Fender guitars like the Telecaster and Stratocaster guitars and Precision and Jazz bass guitars are universally acclaimed as design classics.
