Developed by Leo Fender and launched in 1950, the Broadcaster was soon changed to Telecaster to avoid confusion with the name of a drum model produced by Gretsch. It has remained a staple of the Fender line for nearly 60 years. |

Introduced in 1959, the Gibson EB-0 bass became an instant classic. During it's 20 year production run, it accounted for almost 1/3 of Gibson's bass sales. Boasting a short-scale 30½", it produced fat tones for folks with smaller hands. A solid body bass, it was first styled after the Les Paul Junior, but later changed to an SG body style. |

Originally meant for country musicians, the Telecaster was released as the Broadcaster in 1950. When first sold in stores, it retailed for less than $200. It was built based on the concept of 1800s German instruments of Johann Georg Stauffer. The Telecaster is one of the most versatile and enduring guitars around. |

In 1959, Fender introduced the Telecaster Custom and Esquire Custom, fancy versions of the originals with white binding that helped protect the edges from wear. These guitars had Jazzmaster-like rosewood fingerboards, which looked more traditional and wore better thanone-piece maple necks. Some early-'60s, pre-CBS Custom Telecasters had necks capped with maple fingerboards made in the same manner as the necks capped with rosewood.

The Martin D-18 Dreadnought is an American classic. Introduced in 1931, the D-18 is the original 14-fret Martin dreadnought and still one of their most popular instruments -- especially among studio musicians. The combination of light, quartersawn mahogany sides and back, and large Dreadnought size produces an exceptionally well-balanced tone.The D-18 is loud, with a bright, clear treble and warm, moderate bass, which makes it ideal for both recording and stage work. |

The Guild Guitar line was founded as a quality alternative to the Gibson-Epiphone merger. Alfred Dronge, a professional guitarist and music store owner, and George Mann, a one-time Epiphone exec, formed a partnership and registered the Guild name in October of 1952. The partners set up shop in a 1500-square-foot New York City loft in the midst of two very important communities: the community of experienced craftsmen from the nearby Epiphone and Gretsch factories and the community of big-time jazz session guitarists performing and recording in New York. |

The Marauder features custom-designed Bill Lawrence pickups sealed in clear epoxy, a feature which was considered ahead of its time, and this was and still is considered to be one of the best qualities of this guitar. |

Introduced in 1966 as a companion to Fender's shorter-scaled, 2-pickup Fender Mustang guitars, the Mustang Bass was the last original bass designed by Leo Fender before his departure from the company in 1965. It has a short 30" scale, a single split pickup (similar to the P-bass), one volume, one tone control and string-through-body construction. Like the early Precision and Jazz basses, the Mustang Bass was also fitted with string mutes.
The standard finishes were red and white. Mustang basses, like all Fender guitars, were finished in nitrocellulose lacquer up until 1968, thereafter in thick polyester finish. In 1969, both the Mustang guitar and bass were issued with 'Competition' finishes, i.e. red with three white stripes, a thick one between two thinner ones, Lake Placid Blue with lighter blue stripes, etc. and were later available in various plain finishes including black and sunburst. (The yellowing of the lacquer on some early models has also resulted in "rare" colours like Surf Green, in reality a yellowed Competition Blue). In production almost continuously to 1981, the Mustang Bass was recently reissued by Fender Japan in 2002.

In 1979, Fender celebrated 25 production years of the Stratocaster with it's first "anniversary" edition. It was also the first Fender instrument to be issued in a limited quantity and featured the return of the popular 4-bolt neck design. The initial 500 or so instruments produced were finished in Pearl White. However, due to the instability of the finish and the checking that resulted, many were recalled and re-finished in Porsche Silver (though Fender refers to it as "25th Anniversary Stratocaster Silver"), the color that was used in the rest of the production run. |

The Johnny Smith was introduced in 1961, It combined Gibson's manufacturing know-how with Smith's creative vision, resulting in a classic body style with unprecedented technical innovation. The Johnny Smith featured the first floating humbucking pickup, a 25" scale, thinner body, and a wide, 1 3/4" nut width. Taking inspiration from the past, it resurrected the classic X-braced top, a design used by Gibson in the 1930's. With it's increased sustain and warm, throaty tone, the X-brace has become the standard among contemporary archtop builders.

The Rickenbacker 330 is part of Rickenbacker's 300 series of guitars, the series for which Rickenbacker is perhaps best known. The instrument incorporates many features standard on Rickenbacker guitars, including a three-ply maple/walnut neck, a shallow headstock angle, a thick rosewood fretboard finished with clear conversion varnish, and double truss rods. The 330 also features a body with Rickenbacker's "crescent moon" cutaway shape with sharp, unbound edges, and an "R"-shaped trapeze tailpiece.

The Gibson Melody Maker was first launched in 1959 and remained in production until 1971. It had a thin slab-style mahogany body and a one-piece mahogany neck. All the electronics, from the small single-coil pickups to the cable jack, were assembled on a scratchplate and installed in a routed cavity on the front of the body. The strings ran from a straight-sided simplification of the traditional Gibson headstock at one end to a wraparound bridge/tailpiece unit at the other. |

Fender introduced the Precision Bass (P-Bass) in 1951. The P-Bass was the first electric bass and was a smash hit. The Precision bass included a Slab double cut away ash body, a single coil pickup, one piece 34" neck (Maple). The early Pbass also featured large Kluson tuning machines heads. These were later replaced by conventional geared tuning machines. In 1957 the pickup was upgraded to a split double coil pickup and a wider head stock was added. |
