Fender

Fender is an American company which was founded by Leo Fender in 1946. They started with producing the Telecaster, which became a huge success. Not much later, they developed other immensely popular guitars and basses, like the Stratocaster and the Precision Bass. Nowadays, Fender produces many different high quality guitars and basses, which makes sure they remain one of the most popular brands.

The Player Series

Fender developed the Player series for beginning musicians who have a relatively low budget. The Fender Player guitars and basses are made in Mexico instead of in America, but meet all the requirements of a professional instrument. Hence they are suited for performing and recording. The Player instruments are cheaper versions of the popular American-made Fender instruments, which means they play and sound like typical Fender instruments. The guitars are also quite versatile, which means they are suitable for every guitarist. All models have Alnico pickups and are available in many different colours.

The Player Lead II

The Lead guitar was designed in 1979 by Fender. The goal with it was to develop a new kind of Stratocaster. The Lead is a tad smaller than the Strat, but they have the same neck. Moreover, the Lead has the same bridge as a Telecaster. The dubble cut-out and the wide shape of the body makes the higher frets easy to reach. The Player Lead II has two Alnico single-coil pickups. The pickups are Stratocaster pickups in a Telecaster set-up. The pickups can be adjusted with the three way switch, the volume knob, and the tone knob. The body of the guitar is made of alder, which has a bright resonance, and the neck is made of maple. The Player Lead II is thus a unique and amazing guitar!
