Est. year: 1946
Fender Musical Instruments Corporation is an American maker of electric guitars, basses and guitar amplifiers, founded in 1946 by Clarence Leonidas (Leo) Fender in Fullerton, California. It is the company behind the Stratocaster, Telecaster, Precision Bass and Jazz Bass, and in hi-fi catalogs it appears through consumer audio products sold under its name. Headquarters are in Los Angeles, with a planned move to Phoenix, Arizona.
Range & what it's known for
The main business is instruments and backline - electric and acoustic guitars, bass guitars, amplifiers and effects pedals. Beyond the Fender line itself the group runs Squier for lower-priced versions of its designs, along with Gretsch, Jackson, Charvel and EVH guitars, and since 2019 the Bigsby vibrato company. In 2021 it bought PreSonus Audio Electronics, a maker of recording interfaces, studio monitors and mixers, which brought professional audio engineering into the group. Home and portable audio, a small side activity, is licensed out under the Fender Audio name rather than developed in-house.
Who owns it and where it's made
Leo Fender sold the company to the broadcaster CBS in 1965. Today the majority owner is Servco Pacific, which took full control in 2020 after buying out the stake held by TPG Growth, and the chief executive is Edward (Bud) Cole. Instruments are built in the company's own factories in Corona, California and Ensenada, Mexico, while consumer headphones and speakers come through the licensing arrangement.
The lineup in this catalog
Headphones and audio accessories carrying the Fender name, at entry and mid consumer prices.
Who it's for
This page fits players and music fans who already know Fender through its guitars and amplifiers and want audio gear tied to that name. Those after studio monitoring or recording equipment within the same group can look at the PreSonus range, while people choosing everyday wireless listening will find the consumer products under the separate Fender Audio label.
