About Fender American Original Series:

Founded by Leo Fender in 1938 as Fenders Radio Service, what is now the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation began making electric guitars and amplifiers in 1945. The rest, as they say, is history. Creator of the worlds first mass-produced, and by far most popular, solid-bodied electric, Fender is now the worlds leading guitar manufacturer.

Picking up where the celebrated American Vintage Series left off, the Fender American Original Series features re-imagined, best-of-the-decade versions of some of the most legendary model years of the Stratocaster, Telecaster, Jaguar, Jazzmaster, and Jazz and Precision basses, updated for modern playability.
