Collection: Fender Guitars

Draggin' Guitars has spent a LOT of time researching Fender's production techniques of the 1950's, 1960's and 1970's.  Hours spent with former employees from the dawn of Fender throughout the golden years, we were lucky enough to speak with them as early as the late 1980's and early 1990's before a "vintage guitar" market even existed.  While others chased guitar leads, we focused on the employees' own words concerning production technique, marketing strategies, and even some crazy design work.  We spoke on several occasions to the original factory employees, providing fascinating in-depth interviews with many involved at all levels of the company.  We know Fender guitars.  We Love Fender guitars...What is not to love?  Many know that Fender provides such a wide variety of guitars and basses.  Always calling California U.S.A. its home-base; these guitars were produced for over 30 years at the Fullerton California factory, then moved to present day Corona California.  The list of players is ridiculous:  Buddy Holly, Jimi Hendrix Stevie Ray Vaughan, John Geery, The Edge, Albert Collins, Bill Carson, The Beatles, Jeff Beck, Ritchie Blackmore, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Rory Gallagher, Jimmy Page, Bob Stinson, The Beach Boys, Kurt Cobain, Bruce Springsteen, Eric Clapton, Sonic Youth, Smashing Pumpkins, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Spoon, David Gilmour, The Anniversary, Eric Johnson,  Pink Floyd, The Get Up Kids, Green Day, The Cure, The Sex Pistols, The Clash, Dire Straights, ZZ Top, Joe Bonamassa and most likely: You
