Mike Audio makes Fender guitars now available at Yamaha Music Centre

-

After the initial prototypes of the 40s, Fender gave birth to the Stratocast­er in the early 50s and the instrument would eventually become the standard by which all other guitars are measured.

Think of any guitar virtuoso since Fender’s inception, all the way up to the present and you can bet your last buck they were all Fender devotees. From ‘Strat’ heads like Clapton, Hendrix and Eddie Van Halen to Telecaster aficionado­s such as Bob Dylan, Keith Richards and Bruce Springstee­n, Fender has been the most consistent characteri­stic, among rock and roll hall of fame inductees. In fact, Jeff Beck possibly summed it up best, when he remarked, “With a Les Paul you just wind up sounding like someone else. With the Strat I finally sound like me.”

Over the years Fender has continuall­y refined its guitars and the result is a master class in classic form and awe-inspiring function. Fender’s iconic range continues to retain these renowned standards, while also adding several new models for entrylevel musicians and those who want that fabled Fender sound, without the profession­al price tag.
