Stratocaster® guitar headstocks, screw-attached pickguards and internal body
trusses that took stress off the top and back, enabling lighter tops with smaller
braces. Earliest models included the King, the Concert, the Classic, the Folk and
the Palomino.
Fender continued to create many new stellar models through the
mid-’60s and was recognized for exceptional innovation with the
development of the Wildwood guitars, which were introduced in 1966.
Based on the earlier King at-top model, it came in a variety of dramatic
dyed-wood colors. The Wildwood colors were created by injecting
colored dyes directly into growing beech trees many years before the
wood was actually harvested. The resulting guitars were striking in their
vibrant colors and depth of tone.
Through the 1970s and 1980s, Fender continued to produce a variety of outstanding acoustic instruments, but it was in the mid-
’80s and through the ’90s that Fender is credited with spawning a wide-ranging and popular resurgence in acoustic guitar playing
that harkens back to those early-’60s sun-and-fun acoustic models. Innovation continued in the 2000s with the creation of the new
California™ and the Classic Design series guitars.
Today, in a direct line with our rich heritage, Fender offers a
comprehensive range of acoustic instruments for everyone from
professionals to hobbyists and beginners, in models that include full-
size dreadnoughts, jumbos, orchestra and concert models; from
nylon-string classical guitars to full-scale acoustic bass guitars; and
from distinctive artist signature models to exotic limited editions.
Fender continues to be a leader in innovation, quality and service.
