The Fender Stratocaster is often referred to as the Strat. The Stratocaster electric guitar was designed by Leo Fender, George Fullerton and Freddie Tavares in 1954, and has been manufactured continuously to this day. It is a double-cutaway guitar, with an extended top horn for balance while standing. The Classic Stratocaster has been sought after and used by many leading guitarists, and thus can be heard on many historic recordings. Along with the Gibson Les Paul, Gibson SG, and the Fender Telecaster, the Fender Stratocaster is one of the most common and enduring models of electric guitar in the world. The design of the Fender Stratocaster has transcended the field of music to rank among the classic industrial designs of all time. Vintage Fender Stratocaster examples have been exhibited at major museums and are on display around the world.

In its original form, the Stratocaster was offered only in a 2-color sunburst finish, together with a solid one-piece maple neck with 21 frets, black dot inlays and Kluson machine heads. There was also a set of available custom colors that wasn't standardized until 1960. These custom colors were mostly automobile lacquer colors made by Dupont and could be had for an extra 5% cost. The single-ply, 8-screw hole white pickguard was a unique concept that allowed all of the guitar's electronic components to be mounted on one easy-to-remove surface. Subsequent Stratocaster designs have made improvements upon the original in usability and sound, but original vintage Fender models are still sought after and bring top dollar in today's market. The vintage tone and timbre of the older models is highly desired by collectors and musicians.

The Stratocaster has been widely copied and as a result, the term "Strat," which is a trademark of Fender Musical Instrument Corporation, is often used generically when referring to any guitar that has the same general features as the original, regardless of manufacturer.

Fender was not the first to manufacture electric guitars. Several, other companies produced electric guitars since the late 1920s but none of them were as commercially successful as Fender. Fender created versatile solid-body electric guitars while nearly all the other electric guitars being manufactured at the time were either hollow-body guitars or more specialized instruments such as Rickenbacker's solid-body Hawaiian guitars. Fender guitars were and still are very popular with musicians in a variety of genres and the vintage Fender Telecaster is highly sought after.

Fender offered the first mass-produced solid-body Spanish-style electric guitar, the Telecaster. The Telecaster has was originally named the 'Broadcaster'. The Fender 'Precision Bass' or 'P-Bass' was the first mass produced electric bass. They manufactured a single pickup version called the 'Esquire'. Fender also manufactures the popular Stratocaster electric guitar. Fender guitars were and still are very popular with musicians in a variety of genres.

The Fender company also makes acoustic guitars, electric basses, mandolins, banjos, and violins, as well as guitar amplifiers, bass amplifiers, and even PA or public address equipment.

Other Fender instruments include the Mustang, Jazzmaster, Jaguar, Starcaster, Duo-sonic, and Bronco guitars. Fender bass models include the Jazz Bass and the 'Telecaster Bass' which is a reissue of the original 1950s Precision Bass. Fender also has a line of lap steels; three models of electric violins, and the Fender Rhodes electric piano.
