And with its revolutionary electrified tone, it would change the way music was made—forever. Today, FMIC brands include Fender®, Squier®, Gretsch®, Jackson®, Charvel® and EVH® among others. With an illustrious history dating back to 1946, Fender has touched and transformed music worldwide and in nearly every genre: rock `n` roll, country and western, jazz, rhythm and blues and many others.
