Production began in 1945 with Hawaiian <a href="/wiki/Lap_steel" class="mw-redirect" title="Lap steel">lap steel</a> guitars like the "Champion" (incorporating a patented pickup) and amplifiers, sold as sets. By the end of the year, Fender became convinced that manufacturing was more profitable than repair, and decided to concentrate on that business instead. Kauffman remained unconvinced, and he and Fender amicably parted ways by early 1946. At that point, Fender renamed the company the "Fender Electric Instrument Company". The service shop remained open until 1951, although Leo Fender did not personally supervise it after 1947. </p><p>Leo Fender's lap steel guitar made in 1946 for <a href="/wiki/Noel_Boggs" title="Noel Boggs">Noel Boggs</a> was probably the first product of the new company, bearing an early presentation of the cursive "big F" Fender logo.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In the late 1940s, Fender began to experiment with more conventional guitar designs. Early <a href="/wiki/Fender_Telecaster" title="Fender Telecaster">Broadcasters</a> were plagued with issues; while Fender boasted the strength of the instrument's one-piece maple neck, early adopters lamented its tendency to bow in humid weather. Fender's reluctant addition of a metal <a href="/wiki/Truss_rod" title="Truss rod">truss rod</a> into the necks of his guitars allowed for the much needed ability to fine-tune the instrument to the musician's specific needs. With the design of the Telecaster finalized, mass production began in 1950. The Telecaster's bolted-on neck allowed for the instrument's body and neck to be milled and finished separately, and for the final assembling to be done quickly and cheaply by unskilled workers. </p> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Fender_Stratocaster_004-2.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/63/Fender_Stratocaster_004-2.jpg/150px-Fender_Stratocaster_004-2.jpg" decoding="async" width="150" height="272" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/63/Fender_Stratocaster_004-2.jpg/225px-Fender_Stratocaster_004-2.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/63/Fender_Stratocaster_004-2.jpg/300px-Fender_Stratocaster_004-2.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1432" data-file-height="2592" /></a><figcaption>The <a href="/wiki/Fender_Stratocaster" title="Fender Stratocaster">Stratocaster</a> was released in 1954</figcaption></figure> <p>In 1950, Fender introduced the first mass-produced solid-body <a href="/wiki/Electric_guitar" title="Electric guitar">electric guitar</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Telecaster" class="mw-redirect" title="Telecaster">Telecaster</a> ("Tele") (originally named the Broadcaster for two-pickup models and Esquire for single-pickup).<sup id="cite_ref-broadcasterguitar_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-broadcasterguitar-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Following its success, Fender created the first mass-produced <a href="/wiki/Bass_guitar" title="Bass guitar">electric bass</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Precision_Bass" class="mw-redirect" title="Precision Bass">Precision Bass</a> (P-Bass). In August 1954 Fender unveiled the <a href="/wiki/Fender_Stratocaster" title="Fender Stratocaster">Stratocaster</a> ("Strat") guitar. With the Telecaster and Precision Bass having been on the market for some time, Leo Fender was able to incorporate input from working musicians into the Stratocaster's design. Following the Stratocaster's release, the Precision Bass received a major makeover, aligning it more with the Stratocaster as opposed to the Telecaster. </p><p>In 1959, Fender released the <a href="/wiki/Fender_Jazzmaster" title="Fender Jazzmaster">Jazzmaster</a> guitar. Like the Stratocaster before it, the Jazzmaster was a radical departure from previous guitar designs. The offset body, vibrato system and innovative electronics were designed to capture the <a href="/wiki/Jazz" title="Jazz">Jazz</a> guitar market which until then was dominated by acoustic guitars. Fender even promoted the <a href="/wiki/Fender_Jazzmaster" title="Fender Jazzmaster">Jazzmaster</a> as a premium successor to the <a href="/wiki/Fender_Stratocaster" title="Fender Stratocaster">Stratocaster</a>, an accolade it never fully achieved. Despite being shunned by the Jazz community, the guitar found a home in the growing <a href="/wiki/Surf_music" title="Surf music">surf rock</a> music scene, one that would go on to influence the Jazzmaster's successor, the <a href="/wiki/Fender_Jaguar" title="Fender Jaguar">Jaguar</a> in 1962.

However, the sale also led to a reduction of the quality of Fender's guitars while under the management of "cost-cutting" CBS. Several cosmetic changes occurred after 1965/1966, such as a larger <a href="/wiki/Headstock" title="Headstock">headstock</a> shape on certain guitars. Bound necks with block shaped <a href="/wiki/Position_marker" class="mw-redirect" title="Position marker">position markers</a> were introduced in 1966. A bolder black headstock logo, as well as a <a href="/wiki/Silverface" class="mw-redirect" title="Silverface">brushed aluminum face plate</a> with blue or red labels (depending the model) for the guitar and bass amplifiers became standard features, starting in late 1968. These first "silverface" amps added an aluminium trim detail around the speaker baffle until 1970. </p><p>Other cosmetic changes included a new "tailless" <a href="/wiki/Fender_amplifier" title="Fender amplifier">Fender amp</a> decal and a sparkling orange grillcloth on certain amplifiers in the mid-1970s. Regarding guitars, in mid-1971, the usual four-bolt neck joint was changed to one using only three bolts, and a second string tree for the two middle (G and D) strings was added in late 1972. These changes were said to have been made to save money: while it suited the new 'improved' micro-tilt adjustment of the neck (previously requiring neck removal and shimming), the "Bullet" <a href="/wiki/Truss_rod" title="Truss rod">truss rod</a> system, and a 5-way pickup selector on most models, it also resulted in a greater propensity toward mechanical failure of the guitars. </p><p>During the CBS era, the company did introduce some new instrument and amplifier designs. The <a href="/wiki/Fender_Starcaster" title="Fender Starcaster">Fender Starcaster</a> was particularly unusual because of its shallow, yet semi-hollow body design that still retained the traditional Fender bolt-on neck, albeit with a completely different headstock. The Starcaster also incorporated a new Humbucking pickup designed by <a href="/wiki/Seth_Lover" title="Seth Lover">Seth Lover</a>, which became known as the <a href="/wiki/Fender_Wide_Range" title="Fender Wide Range">Wide Range</a> pickup. This pickup also gave rise to 3 new incarnations of the classic Telecaster: the <a href="/wiki/Fender_Telecaster_Custom" title="Fender Telecaster Custom">Telecaster Custom</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Fender_Telecaster_Deluxe" title="Fender Telecaster Deluxe">Telecaster Deluxe</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Fender_Telecaster_Thinline" title="Fender Telecaster Thinline">Telecaster Thinline</a>. Though more recent use by <a href="/wiki/Jonny_Greenwood" title="Jonny Greenwood">Jonny Greenwood</a> of <a href="/wiki/Radiohead" title="Radiohead">Radiohead</a> has raised the Starcaster's profile, CBS-era instruments are generally much less coveted or collectable than the "pre-CBS" models created by Leo Fender prior to selling the Fender companies to CBS in 1965. In 1966 Fender opened a much a larger facility at 1300 S. Valencia Drive adjacent to the existing factory at 500 South Raymond Avenue.<sup id="cite_ref-Stratocaster_2020._pg_26_13-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Stratocaster_2020._pg_26-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Guitar and amplifier production, which had already increased 30% in CBS's first year, soon increased another 45%.<sup id="cite_ref-Stratocaster_2020._pg_26_13-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Stratocaster_2020._pg_26-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 1981, CBS brought in new management: three executives, John McLaren, William "Bill" Schultz and Dan Smith. They were experienced in the music industry, having previously worked for Yamaha Musical Instruments. They needed to deal with quality control issues, so the Fender Fullerton plant was virtually shut down in order to revamp manufacturing. Fender was also struggling to fight against lower cost copycat guitars on the market. They needed to manufacture the guitars somewhere else, so decided to move production to Japan, where some of the copycat guitars were coming from, even working with those companies. On March 11, 1982, Fender Japan Ltd. was founded.<sup id="cite_ref-reverb.com_14-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-reverb.com-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 1983, the <a href="/wiki/Fender_Stratocaster" title="Fender Stratocaster">Fender Stratocaster</a> received a short-lived redesign including a single ("master") tone control, a bare-bones pickguard-mounted output jack, redesigned single-coil pickups, active electronics, and three push buttons for pickup selection (on the Elite Series).
