The second electric guitar designed by Leo Fender to come off the factory line, the Stratocaster debuted in 1954, helping bring the popularity of Fender musical instruments into full bloom by the late ‘50s. With six intonatable saddles and a smooth-bending whammy bar, the Stratocaster’s cleanly engineered tremolo was the instrument’s functional miracle, solidifying the Fender’s indelible influence on the future of electric guitar design.

Launched in 1950 as the “Broadcaster,” it wasn’t until a year later when Leo Fender dubbed his first-ever electric guitar design the “Telecaster” that it got its official name, and the model’s remained largely unchanged since. With its slab body, bolt-on neck design, and quintessential six-in-line headstock shape, the Telecaster has become an iconic go-to workhouse for amateur and professional guitar players, alike.

Enhanced Sound

Improving on the previous Player Series launched in 2018, Fender Player II series instruments feature specially voiced pickups to ensure each instrument captures the quintessential Fender tone.

The Stratocaster features Alnico V pickups for that classic single-coil sound, while the HSS model incorporates a blend of Alnico II and V for versatile tones. The Telecaster standard uses Alnico V pickups, while the HH model employs Alnico II for a warmer sound. The Jaguar and Jazzmaster models both benefit from newly voiced single-coil pickups that enhance their signature sounds. For bassists, the Precision Bass and Jazz Bass include powerful Alnico V pickups, delivering punchy and dynamic tones. The Mustang Bass also features Alnico V pickups, ensuring a robust and vibrant sound.

Featuring a neck that’s narrower at the nut for a faster and more effortless feel, plus a sleek body style meant to mirror the offset contoured style of the Jazzmaster, the first Jazz Bass models were developed after Fender Salesman Don Randall requested a more sophisticated, high-end bass model. Since its debut in 1960, the Jazz Bass has become the top choice for bass players across all styles of music.
