Fender Guitar Brand

Now I am going to inform you about the Fender Guitar Brand.

Below, me with my Christmas Fender guitar! It is an electric acoustic and my favorite Christmas present this year (2008).

The leading maker of guitars is Fender. They started in 1946 and the company has grown over the years. In 2007 they bought Kaman Music Corporation. Kaman was the biggest distributor of instruments and accessories. They even distribute Takamine guitars, that I wrote about earlier.

Over the weekend, we went to a local music store to test out a new amp. I had to pick out a guitar to plug into the amp. I picked out a beautiful light blue one. It was a Fender, made in America. My mom almost passed out when she saw that the price tag said $1000!

There were other Fenders there as well, but about half the price. I asked the salesperson about this. He said that the $500 guitars were made in China or Japan. The very expensive ones are made in America and are made of higher quality wood and other parts.

The Fender was cool to play. I would like to have one!
