Renowned in the world of music, Fender® guitars and amplifiers are also iconic pieces of popular culture, with shapes and sounds that are instantly recognizable. The book "Fender 75 Years" is an official retrospective on the company's history and its legendary instruments, written authoritatively and richly illustrated. From Leo Fender's humble radio and amplifier repair shop in California, the Fender Musical Instrument Corporation became the most prominent name in musical instruments worldwide. From Fender's first guitar in 1946 to the innovations that defined the electric guitar, author Dave Hunter tracks the full history of Fender to date.

All innovations and significant models are included, as well as legendary artists who became synonymous with Fender instruments across various music genres. In addition to the widely recognizable Telecaster® and Stratocaster®, Hunter examines Fender's legendary offset guitars like the Mustang®, Jazzmaster®, and Jaguar®, as well as lesser-known models like the Coronado and Bronco. Also included are the Jazz Bass® and Precision Bass®, as well as acoustic guitars and reliable amplifiers like the Bassman®, Twin Reverb®, and Princeton®.

Through rare images from the company's archives, "Fender 75 Years" offers rare images from the production process, studio photos of guitars, rare advertising, and images of live performances of artists using Fender. It is the definitive review of Fender's first three-quarters of a century and a must-have piece for any guitar enthusiast.
