Leo Fender

Clarence Leonidas Fender (August 10, 1909 – March 21, 1991) was an American inventor known for designing the Fender Stratocaster and Telecaster. Today, Fender produces acoustic guitars, bass amplifiers and public address equipment, but is best known for its solid-body electric guitars and bass guitars, particularly the

Stratocaster, Telecaster, Jaguar, Jazzmaster, Precision Bass, and the Jazz Bass.

The company began as "Fender's Radio Service" in late 1938 in Fullerton, California. As a qualified electronics technician, Leo Fender had repaired radios, phonographs, home audio amplifiers, public address systems and musical instrument amplifiers. The business also carried records for sale and the rental of company-designed PA systems. Leo Fender became intrigued by design flaws in contemporary musical instrument amplifiers and began building amplifiers based on his own designs or modifications to existing designs.

In 1946 Leo Fender renamed his company the "Fender Electric Instrument Company." In 1965 Leo sold the Fender company to CBS, Leo Fender founded Music Man in 1975, and G&L Musical Instruments in 1979, both of which manufacture electric guitars and basses based on his later designs.
