The Strat. (stratocaster) Fender's #1 electric guitar.

releced after the Les Paul's sucsess, the strat has 3 single coil pickups and a unique (to the time) tremmelo system that allowed for a more dramatic drop in string tension when used.

The Telecaster: Fender's #2 guitar. The older tele's are coveted by country musitions by there beautiful single coil tone and superior action.

The Mustang: (no not the car) an older but less recognized Fender model.

The Fender Mustang was originally realesed as a student model and sells for about 600 dollars. It was realesed to compete with the Les Paul Junior only it had two pickups(unlike the Junior) It was made famous by Kurt Cobain of Nirvana in the 90's although other earlier guitarists did use them.
They are known for their more grity aggresive tone but they are still capable of producing a pleasing clean tone.

I don't know how to add pictures to this but there are several different fender basses that are common and popular.
First i'll start with the Fender P bass (or pressicion bass)
User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.
The tone of the p bass is renowned for its clean tone. The p bass is so named, because it almost never has a muddy sound to it, unless of course you are using a distortion effect of some kind.

Then there are J bass(aka Jazz basses).

Jazz basses are incredbly versitile and have a beautiful tone. They are obviously know for there jazz pickup style whicth varies on the model.

Fender also recently realesed a group of Highway one J and P basses( actually not super recently but within the last to years.

Geddy Lee ( the bassist in rush) is famous for using a J bass. There are a number of other models of basses, but those are the most common, if you want info on any more Fender gear, I could tell you just about all of it, athough i prefer Gibson. If you need anymore Fender Bass info ill update more throughout when i have time

"Viper Edit"
