Vintage Fender Electric Guitars - Heres the line of guitars that all the other Electric Guitars Famous. Although Fender was not the first to manufacture an electric guitar they did make it popular. Heres a little history of Fender Guitars...

Fender offered the first mass-produced solid-body Spanish-style electric guitar, the Telecaster; the first mass-produced electric bass, the Precision Bass (P-Bass); and popular Stratocaster (Strat) guitar. While Fender was not the first to manufacture electric guitars, as other companies and luthiers had produced electric guitars since the late 1920s, none was as commercially successful as Fender's.

Furthermore, while nearly all other electric guitars then were either hollow-body guitars or more specialized instruments such as Rickenbacker's solid-body Hawaiian guitars, Fender had created versatile solid-body electric guitars. These guitars were and still are popular for musicians in a variety of genres.

The core of the Fender instrument line — the Telecaster, Stratocaster, Precision Bass and Jazz Bass, remain largely unchanged from the 1950s and 1960s originals (Roberts, Jim  2003  American Basses:  A Illustrated History).
