THE LEGENDARY FENDER GUITAR.
There is only one major name in electric guitars that people seem to remember, and that is none other than Fender. I personally own several Fenders, a Fender Highway Series Strat, a beautiful Fender Telecaster Road Worn series, a Squire Jazz Bass, and I could not be happier. Fender guitars have been one of the “go to” guitars in rock, blues, funk, punk, and hardcore music for many years. Many notable performers endorse and use Fender guitars. From the likes of Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix, to punk icon Tom Delonge, Fender has been a name to trust in professional music history for years. It is important to not just look at the endorsed models from Fender, but to look at the overall quality that they offer to novice musicians as well as professionals. Fender also owns and operates Gretsch guitars, among other brands.
BUYING THE BEST FENDER GUITAR.
Fender offers two major distinct options when considering purchasing a new guitar. They offer the Fender Stratocaster, which can run a lot of money and break the bank for most, and the Squire Stratocaster. The main difference is that one is made for professional usage and the other is made for beginners and those honing their skill. Also the Fender brand is made in America, and the Squire brand is made in Mexico or Asia. The other two main differences to consider, whether looking at electric guitars or bass guitars is where the guitar is made. There are two major distinctions between guitars made by fender. These two main distinctions are in the manufacturing of the guitar. Guitars manufactured in America by Fender are by and large more expensive and many people believe that they are superior in sound and quality. Fender guitars made in Mexico (with American parts mind you) cost less, and are seen as inferior products by many elitist guitar players. Regardless of whether you get an American made Fender or a Mexican assembled Fender, you’ll find the two nearly undistinguishable in terms of style. Fender also makes signature models, like the Yngwie Malmsteen Stratocaster and the “SRV” Stevie Ray Vaughan Strat.
FENDER GUITAR MAKES, STYLES AND PRICES.
Fender guitars range in price wildly. Aside from where they were made, different models come with a different price tag. Vintage Fender guitars can be very expensive, like all good vintage guitars. Most are affordable, but those looking for custom guitars, and mixed pick up brands, will find that the prices can jump rapidly. Consider these top reviewed and recommended Fender models when shopping for a good guitar: the Fender Starcaster at around $199, the Fender Deluxe Roadhouse at around $599, Fender Stratocaster 60’s series at around $799, Fender Jazz Bass at around $699, Fender Precision Bass at around $549, and the Fender American Stratocaster at around $1,049. The Squire guitar will be much cheaper, and is a great beginners guitar, and can be bought in a combo package with a small amp and accessories. There is something for every budget from the Fender brand and they provide quality with style to match.
FENDER GUITAR WARRANTY.
Fender’s warranty information ranges from model to model. Fender offers a limited time warranty on most guitars. However, some retailers can offer extended warranties at nominal fees. It’s important to consider warranty information before purchasing a guitar from any brand as they can really save from headaches in case something goes wrong with your guitar. Fender guitars definitely provide musicians with quality instruments for beginners and professionals, and match it with good quality warranties.
FENDER ELECTRIC, ACOUSTIC AND BASS GUITARS.
Fender guitars range between electric, acoustic, and bass. Regardless of which type you invest in, you’ll be in good company. All styles of music can be mastered with a great quality guitar from the Fender Company. For those looking for American made products, expect to pay more, but those that are willing to accept a Mexican assembled guitar, Fender provides a reliable entry point for consumers on a budget. Whatever you decide on,
