  The life of Leo Fender can be described as “musical.” Clarence Leonidas Fender was the American Inventor who created Fender Electric Instrument Manufacturing Company who’s now known as Fender Musical Instruments Corporation which later on branched out to create MusicMan and G&L Musical Products. The design he made for guitars, bass and amplifiers in the 1950’s are still amongst the top in terms of design, quality, and sound. Dominating throughout half the century. Most amplifier companies like Marshall use fender instruments for the basis of their products.
