La société Fender fut fondée dans les années 1940 par Léo Fender, qui donnera ensuite naissance à deux autres marques très réputées : MusicMan et G&L.
Fender est à l'origine de modèles mythiques, notamment les guitares Telecaster et Stratocaster et les guitares basses Precision Bass et Jazz Bass.
Fender possède une sous-marque, Squier, et d'autres marques : Jackson, SWR, Gretsch, Charvel, EVH, Brand X, Tacoma, Hamer et Starcaster.
