Originally designed for bass, its rich, touch-sensitive overdrive made the 4x10 tweed Bassman a cornerstone of guitar amplification and the template for many later amps.

    The Hot Rod Deluxe IV is a 40-watt all-valve 1x12-inch combo with 6L6 power tubes and three footswitchable voices (Normal, Drive, More Drive).

    Fender Stratocaster

    Electric guitar

    Introduced by Fender in 1954, the Stratocaster is one of the most influential and widely imitated electric guitars ever made. Its contoured double-cutaway solid body, bolt-on maple neck, three single-coil pickups with a five-way selector, and synchronized vibrato bridge produce a bright, articulate voice that has shaped rock, blues, pop, surf, and country. Players from Buddy Holly and Jimi Hendrix to Eric Clapton and David Gilmour built signature tones on it, and the design has anchored Fender's line for seven decades.
