When it comes to brand recognition with a stellar repute, it doesn't get any better than Fender. For over seven decades, they've been making some of the most highly admired instruments and gear in the market. So it only makes sense that, when one is looking for a guitar, Fender is usually the go-to brand for most people.

Calling out all Guitar fans – here’s a brief look at the guitars that made Fender a brand to reckon with.

The Fender Telecaster. This is where it all started: the original guitar that started Fender's journey into contemporary music history. It appeared in the early 1950s, first named as the Broadcaster. The ingeniously modest design, the bolt-on neck, and the slab body all contribute to the guitar's signature tones and player-friendly feel.

First introduced in 1954, the Fender Stratocaster is today an icon of modern music. Rock, country, blues — you'll find a Strat at the heart of just about every genre of music. The distinctive Stratocaster design approaches the realm of modern art. The virtually infinitely variable tones are achieved by using a number of combinations of single-coil and humbucking pickups. In the course of its six-decade history, the Stratocaster has truly been one of the most celebrated as well as imitated guitars in production.

If you thought Fender's was all about Electrics and not so convinced about a Fender Acoustics, take a quick look at the list of artists who play Fender acoustics! Musicians such as Dick Dale, Tim Armstrong of Rancid, Duane Peters of U.S. Bombs, Matt Skiba of Alkaline Trio, Ron Emory of T.S.O.L., Wayne Kramer of MC5, Avril Lavigne, and The King of Rock and Roll Elvis Presley have all thrummed away on Fender acoustics for years.

The Jazz Bass debuted in 1960 and captured the spirit of the era—an instrument as brilliant sounding and groundbreaking as the musical decade itself. Strong, vibrant and versatile, it gave bassists around the world an influential new sound and a fast new feel that would only grow bolder in the decades to follow. It was born out of the yearning for a sleeker, faster bass that pushed its sound further out in front. Tonally more versatile than the P-Bass, the Jazz Bass's dual-pickup arrangement gave players more selections, making the Jazz Bass a great bass for hopping between genres.
