Fender owners say: “ It’s simple, it’s not high tech. The first one I had was a Squire Strat. It was cream and white. I got it because Jimi Hendrix had it, and he was my favorite. It’s a sexy brand. It’s the Coca-Cola of guitars.” Mike Finizza, 30

Fender owners say: “ I love the tone and how it fits your body, its contours. When I think of Fender I think Stevie Ray Vaughn and Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton.” Angela Petrilli, 18

Guitar owners say: “ I wanted a Les Paul shape. The main appeal was the entry price level--and good customer reviews. I certainly have no aversion to a Stratocaster. I think it’s nice looking guitar.” Ray Makowski, 35

Music lovers say: If buying a guitar in the future, I would go for Yamaha because of the brand. (Leslie, 22) No, I don’t know Fender is a guitar brand. Their website looks like some kind of concert. (Arnell, 30) If I have to buy a guitar in the future, I’ll probably get online and search for the best deal, or simply ask a salesperson for advice.
