Ask anyone to draw a guitar, anyone; doesn't matter how old or young, or what gender, it also doesn't matter where he comes from. I'll bet everything that there are only two things that they will end up with, a scribble of an acoustic guitar, or an electric guitar that looks unmistakably like a Fender Stratocaster. Fender Electric guitars are indeed the most popular electric guitar in the planet; and that's not for nothing, man. Their line of electric guitars has each made a mark on the history of music. Man's history is pretty much surrounded with music and art, and Fender's have become part of it too.
Fender Electric Guitars are definitely one of those brands that you could say no too. Even the guitar legends prefer to use it over anything else. For me, there are only two guitars that would suit my preference, a Fender and a Gibson. But Fenders would always make it to the top of my list, through and through. Now, what is it with these guitars that everyone wants it? What are its features? What makes it so special that even legendary guitar players would give a fortune for it?
Basically, it's not all about the features. Not even the looks and the name of the brand. You know what makes it a cut above the rest? It's the tonal quality. And when you talk about tonal quality, each and every Fender Electric Guitars has their own tonal quality to brag about and has been used and abused by some of the greatest axmen of all time. For example, when it comes to the good old surf rock of the 50's as well as the Grunge rock of the late 80's and early 90's, the Fender Jaguar was the axe of choice. Its clean tone was perfect for that good old surf vibe and we you soup it up with distortion; it becomes the perfect weapon for grunge.
If you want to know other Fender Electric Guitars, here they are with some brief details:
1. Fender Telecaster - basically, this was the first commercially successful solid - body electric guitar and the third commercial guitar from Fender. The first one was the Esquire, a single pickup, solid - body guitar, then the Broadcaster that was discontinued due to copyright problems with Gretsch (which later would be owned by Fender) and then the Telecaster. A double single - coil pick up electric guitar which tone was the most sought after when it comes to the traditional blues, rock and roll and jazz.
2. Fender Stratocaster - the supposed to be improvement of the Telecaster but was made to be a different guitar as per suggested by customers. In most people's opinion, it is the perfect guitar. Usually set up with a three single coil pick up set up with the bridge pick up slanting to get that you unique tone. Jimi Hendrix used it, Stevie Ray Vaughn used it, Eric Clapton used it, John Mayer used it and the list goes on and on.
There are a lot more Fender Electric Guitars and them users but I can't put it all on one post. So that's it for now.
