I like guitars in the Fender style because they have skinny necks.

Kurt Cobain

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been a Fender connoisseur. And to have my name associated with greatness like that, it’s amazing. I couldn’t be more proud of anything. My children, and then being associated with Fender. In that order!

John 5

One day, I was just fingering around on the keys of a Fender Rhodes piano, and I came up with this little riff, and all of a sudden, it morphed into a song. It had never been touched by a guitar, which was very weird for us. ‘Under the Ground‘ is the first song I have ever written that had nothing to do with the guitar.

Brian Fallon

I met Leo Fender, who is the guru of all amplifiers, and he gave me a Stratocaster. He became a second father to me.

Dick Dale

I really like the Budda head with a big Orange cabinet with Celestion 30 speakers and my ’63 Fender Telecaster.

Nancy Wilson

I generally use a lot of analog instruments, a few synths from the ’80s like the Roland Juno-106, and an old Fender bullet guitar.

Gus Dapperton

The first amp I had back in the ’50s was a small Fender.

Johnny Rivers

I’m left-handed, and it’s not very easy to find reasonably priced, high-quality left-handed guitars. But out of all the guitars in the whole world, the Fender Mustang is my favorite. I’ve only owned two of them.

Kurt Cobain

I love my Fender Rhodes. It’s been a part of my family since that keyboard came out, and I’ve had it reworked so that it’s in the best condition it’s actually ever been in. That is my baby.

Flying Lotus

What I think is cool about Fender, and what originally drew me to them, was the Fender electric guitar headstock, which I’ve never seen on another ukulele. I feel like a rock star when I’m tuning it.

Grace VanderWaal

I got my first real bass guitar in my hands when I was 14 – a 1957 Fender Precision, which is still hanging on the wall in my front room. I loved the heaviness of it and the feel of the wood. I still do.

Suzi Quatro

I’ve been playing a Fender since 1963, and before that it was my dream guitar. I can’t endorse it more than that.

Rory Gallagher

The Les Paul was more challenging because of the weight of it, but the tone was there that the Fender will never have and vice versa. So you have to make a decision as to what you’re going to have as your main instrument. After seeing Hendrix, I thought, ‘I’ll stick with the ‘Strat.’

Jeff Beck

I play a Fender Jazzmaster and three stacks and a combo, two old Marshall Plexis and a Hiwatt combo and a Hiwatt combo with Marshall cabs.

J Mascis

In early ’57, I bought a Fender Telecaster.

Johnny Rivers

I love the sound of a Fender Rhodes or James Jamerson-style bass lines that are their own melody, and live drums and Moogs.

Corinne Bailey Rae

I was not a great guitarist, so I sold my 1960 Fender Stratocaster in exchange for a Shure Microphone, made in Chicago, and a flute.

Ian Anderson

When I first played the guitar without plugging it into an amplifier, the people at Fender were blown away. They couldn’t believe the sound. I said, ‘See, gentlemen, the world is no longer flat.’

Dick Dale

I go through about two Fender mediums a night because I don’t pick straight down; it’s sort of sideways, and it shaves them off.

Robin Trower

I’ve been called a point guard, I’ve been called a traffic cop, I’ve been called a ringmaster, a lion tamer, whatever. And I guess the thing about the traffic cop is I’m more of a rogue traffic cop because a good traffic cop doesn’t want any fender benders.

Ernie Johnson Jr.

My guitar is a mutation between a classic Fender Stratocaster guitar, which I played for years, and a Gibson solid-body like an SG or a Les Paul. It contains all sounds of the basic classic rock n’ roll guitars. It does what I want it to do.

Jerry Garcia

My brother was the first in Lancaster to have a Fender Stratocaster.

John Waite

Without the Fender bass, there’d be no rock n’ roll or no Motown. The electric guitar had been waiting ’round since 1939 for a nice partner to come along. It became an electric rhythm section, and that changed everything.

Quincy Jones

I did splash out on a 1964 Fender Jaguar guitar in L.A.

Tom Walker

With longevity comes, ‘Nothing is going to kill me; I cannot irreparably damage my career.’ Those days are over. The most I can sustain are fender benders.

Holly Hunter

I’ve used Fender Strats with Marshalls since forever, though since I last played London, I’ve switched to my YJM Seymour Duncan pickups, and I also have a Fender YJM overdrive pedal, which is fairly new.

Yngwie Malmsteen

I have two main bass guitars, and my main bass is a four-string 1964 Fender Jazz, and I’ve named it Justine.

Malcolm-Jamal Warner

One of the key guitars in my career has been an early-Seventies Fender Telecaster Deluxe that I had before Sonic Youth started and that I played pretty much throughout Sonic Youth.

Lee Ranaldo

The first guitar I ever picked up was an acoustic black Fender, so it makes perfect sense that Elias plays Fender guitars. As far as details, it’s simple; Elias and Fender have a great relationship.

Elias

I guess everybody saw it. It’s a deal where I’d been racing cars a long time and I knew going around the track the fender was on the tire hard.

Sterling Marlin
