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 III Metallic Purple

The Lead III is a beautiful electric guitar with a vintage body style. Fender introduced the Lead in 1979, but discontinued it soon after. The Lead was reintroduced as part of the Player Series. With the Lead Fender attempted to combine the Stratocaster and the Telecaster, to make the ultimate versatile guitar. The Lead has a modern C-neck with a 9.5” radius fretboard. The body has a double-cut to make the high frets easy to reach. The compact and lightweight body also makes it the ideal guitar for performing. The Lead III has two Alnico humbuckers which provide a warm and powerful sound. The guitar has a two way switch which makes it possible to adjust the pickups. The hardtail bridge and the F-style tuners give the guitar great tuning stability. The Lead III is thus an amazing and unique guitar!
