Fender Telecaster

Electric guitar

Launched in 1950 and renamed the Telecaster in 1951, it was the first commercially successful solid-body electric guitar. Its single-cutaway slab body, bolt-on maple neck, and two single-coil pickups produce a bright, cutting twang that became foundational to country, rock, blues, and pop.

Fender Eric Johnson Signature Stratocaster

Electric guitar · United States

A signature Stratocaster developed with guitarist Eric Johnson, built to vintage sensibilities with a thin nitrocellulose finish, a quartersawn maple neck, special-wound single-coils, and countersunk tremolo springs. Detail touches such as a single string tree and a 12-degree neck-pocket fit reflect Johnson's preference for clear, dynamic tone.

Model

Fender Telecaster Thinline

Electric guitar

A semi-hollow Telecaster introduced in 1968 with a routed body and a single f-hole that reduce weight and add airiness. The original kept two single-coils, while the 1972 Thinline adopted a pair of Fender Wide Range humbuckers for a thicker tone.

Model

Fender American Vintage '52 Telecaster

Electric guitar · United States

A faithful reissue recreating the specifications of the 1952 Telecaster, with an ash body, one-piece maple neck, and a pair of vintage-voiced single-coil pickups through a traditional three-way circuit. It is built for players who want the bright, twangy character and feel of an early-fifties Tele.

Model

Fender Telecaster Custom

Electric guitar

A dressed-up Telecaster variant. The original 1959 Custom added body binding to the standard Tele, while the better-known 1972 version paired a Fender Wide Range humbucker in the neck position with a single-coil bridge pickup and a four-knob control layout, broadening the Tele's tonal range.

Model

Yngwie Malmsteen Stratocaster

Electric guitar

A signature Stratocaster for neoclassical metal guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen, defined by a scalloped fingerboard, a brass nut, and a large 1970s-style headstock. Its specification supports the rapid, fluid lead playing central to his style.

Model

Jimmie Vaughan Tex-Mex Stratocaster

Electric guitar · Mexico

A Mexican-built signature Stratocaster developed with blues guitarist Jimmie Vaughan, featuring a special neck profile and a set of hotter Tex-Mex single-coil pickups. It is wired for vintage-style response and aimed at expressive blues and roots playing.

Model

Stevie Ray Vaughan Stratocaster

Electric guitar · United States

A signature Stratocaster modeled on Stevie Ray Vaughan's famous "Number One," featuring a left-handed vibrato unit mounted on a right-handed body, gold hardware, a pao ferro fingerboard, and the engraved "SRV" pickguard. It is built to capture the thick, expressive blues tone he was known for.

Model

Fender Bass VI

Electric bass

Introduced in 1961, the Bass VI is a six-string bass tuned a full octave below a guitar, built on a short 30-inch scale with an offset body, three single-coil pickups, and a floating tremolo. Its tight, trebly voice sits between guitar and bass, and it was used by players including Jack Bruce and members of the Beatles.
