Who is the most famous guitar company? To many, there are probably two that come to mind; Gibson and Fender. Pretty much any guitar player will have heard of these two giants of guitar production.
We’ve already checked out Gibson, so let’s focus on what left handed Fender guitars are available.
March 2023 Update: Fender have recently released two new left handed models in their Player Plus Series! These being the Player Plus Stratocaster and the Player Plus Precision Bass; both available in three colors. Keep reading for more details.
Fender guitars are one of the most iconic and famous guitar brands out there. Throughout the decades, Fender has produced many classic guitar designs, and numerous famous guitar players have been associated with them.
Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, Dick Dale, and Courtney Barnett are some famous left handed guitarists who play them. Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Clapton, David Gilmour, and Yngwie Malmsteen are just a few righties too, but the list goes on and on!
Check out this live performance of Stevie Ray Vaughan performing “Texas Flood“. One of the greatest guitarists ever in my mind, and guess what? He’s a Fender Stratocaster player!
Fender is also well known for owning the Squier brand, which they acquired in 1965.
Other Fender acquisitions and partnerships include EVH, Charvel, Jackson, and Gretsch.

Who Are Fender Guitars?
Fender Beginnings
Leo Fender started out fixing faulty amplifiers in a small workshop in Fullerton, California. Teaming up with a local musician Doc Kaufmann in 1943, they formed the K&F Manufacturing Corp., and produced amps and lap steel guitars.
A few years later, they parted company, with Leo Fender starting the Fender Electric Instrument Company in 1946 building amps; namely the Princeton, Deluxe, and Professional, which were the first to bear the Fender name; they proved popular and were highly regarded.
After this, Fender went on to develop a new solid-bodied guitar. At this time, the big artists were all playing hollow-bodied guitars.
In the fall of 1950, he introduced the Fender Broadcaster, his new solid-body guitar that had none of the feedback problems of the hollow-body guitars. It was able to produce a bright, clear tone at high volume, very much the requirement for instruments for performing on stage.
In 1951, Fender was approached by Gretsch, who were concerned that the guitar’s name was too similar to their Broadkaster drumkit. They asked Fender to change the name, so he decided to remove the Broadcaster title, and continued to produce the guitar without a name.
These guitars were later named Nocasters, as they were sold with no model name on the headstock, and have since become highly sought after.
Birth of the Telecaster
By September 1951, Fender chose the name Telecaster, which soon appeared on the headstocks of these fine instruments. They continue to be so named to this day.
The Telecaster was the first mass-produced solid-body guitar; it became known for its bright, clean sound, and it would go on to become very popular with many guitarists, from R&B, Rock & Roll, and Country.
The same year, Fender also introduced the Precision Bass, as well as the Bassman amp, helping musicians free themselves from the heavy and bulky upright bass used by many of the big Swing bands of the time, making it easier for smaller bands to be heard. These new electric bands ushered in a new age of Rock and Roll, and the rest is history!
Three years on, Fender released what has probably become the most popular and enduring electric guitar ever made; the Stratocaster. This new design was like no other guitar before. Its futuristic looks incorporated a double cutaway and a sleek, smooth, contoured body, making it easy and comfortable to play. These together with Fender’s new synchronized floating tremolo made this influential instrument one of the most versatile guitars around.
Fender later went on to release more classic guitars and amps, including both Jazzmaster and Jaguar guitars, the Mustang, as well as the Jazz Bass, growing the brand to become one of the top names in guitar history.
CBS Era
Due to ill health, Leo Fender decided to sell his company to television and radio company CBS (Columbia Broadcasting System) in 1965. As with Nocasters, pre-CBS Fender guitars have become highly sought-after instruments. Many regard these instruments as the pinnacle of Fender guitars’ high quality, as well as being historically important.
After selling Fender to CBS, Leo Fender went on to design instruments for Music Man for several years, before starting G&L Musical Instruments in 1979 with co-founder George Fullerton, taking each co-founder’s first initial for the brand’s name.
During the CBS era, Fender’s popularity took a bit of a dive, as many felt that the quality of their instruments was not as good as it used to be.
By the 1980s, CBS recruited John McLaren, Dan Smith, and William Schultz from Yamaha Musical Instruments to try to turn Fender’s fortunes around. The only way they thought this could be done, was to start over and re-learn how to make Fender guitars the proper way.
Post-CBS
By 1985, Schultz along with a group of Fender employees and investors bought the Fender company from CBS for $12.5M and renamed it the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation.
Unfortunately, the sale didn’t include many of Fender’s patents or the original Fullerton factory, so production of Fender instruments in the US had to be shut down. So for a few months, all Fender guitars were made in Japan! Later that year, Fender opened their flagship factory and headquarters in Corona, California, followed by another manufacturing plant in Ensenada, Mexico in 1987.
That same year, Fender opened its Custom Shop in Corona, California, and the following year they announced the first Fender artist signature guitars; the Eric Clapton Signature Stratocaster and the Yngwie Malmsteen Signature Stratocaster.
In 1991, Fender’s corporate headquarters moved from Corona, California to Scottsdale, Arizona, and the instruments made at Ensenada, Mexico became Fender’s primary export line, with the Japanese-made Fenders being made specifically for the Japanese market, though a small number of these are available outside of Japan.
Present Day Fender
More recently, the company launched Fender Digital in 2015, focusing on digital innovation. One standout development of Fender Digital’s is their digital learning platform, Fender Play, launched in 2017, which is aimed at beginners and intermediate players wanting to improve their playing.
Fender has also branched out into using digital technology to connect their smartphone app with their Mustang GTX, Mustang GT, and Rumble amplifiers, enabling users to edit their sound from their phones and saving presets to the cloud.
In 2019, Fender launched its Fender Next program. New and emerging artists can apply to join Fender Next, and if chosen by Fender, they’ll be provided with gear and support, bringing their music to a wider audience.
Fender has been focusing a lot more on getting their name out to a younger audience with these innovations, and in doing so, they continue to stay relevant in today’s age.
What Do I Think of Fender Guitars?
One of the first guitar brands I’d ever heard of was Fender. Back in the days of catalog shopping, before I knew I wanted to play guitar, I used to look at the guitars being sold in catalogs, and there’d always be a Fender Stratocaster, as well as whatever the cheap copy was at the time (and of course, there’d only be right-handed guitars available).
However, this was before I even knew that left handed guitars were a thing. So I’d just see them in the catalog and know that I wanted one!
Of course, when I actually started playing guitar and started buying guitar magazines and going to guitar shows, I couldn’t help but hear about Fender.
Many guitar players that I liked played Fender guitars, including Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix, Rory Gallagher, Joe Strummer, Andy Summers, John Squire, and Kurt Cobain.
I’ve been a fan of Fender ever since those early days; the Stratocaster at first, but in recent years, I have become a big fan of Jaguars and Jazzmasters!

Are All Fender Guitars Made in the USA?
In short, no.
Fender started out making all of its guitars in Fullerton, California.
By late 1981, Fender was also making guitars in Japan at the FujiGen Gakki Corp. manufacturing plant. These guitars were all labeled “MADE IN JAPAN” and were mainly for the Japanese market, though some of these were also sold overseas. Many players said that the quality of these instruments rivaled that of their USA-made counterparts.
In 1987, a factory was also opened in Ensenada, Mexico. These days, the Fender Player guitars and basses are made in Mexico, along with Player Plus, 75th Anniversary (excludes 75th Anniversary Commemorative guitars), Vintera, Noventa, and some of the Artist series.
Some Fender guitars are made in Far Eastern countries such as Indonesia and China. The Special Edition Custom Telecaster® FMT HH, as well as many of Fender’s acoustic guitars, are made in the Far East.
Left Handed Fender Electric Guitars
At the time of writing, there are nine solid-body and seven acoustic left handed Fender guitars. There’re also four left handed Fender bass guitars and one left handed Acoustasonic guitar available. I’ve included last year’s models too as some of them are still available at some retailers.
I’ve also included Fender’s “Made in Japan” guitars as well, as you may be able to get a hold of them from some non-Japanese retailers. Of these, there is one Stratocaster and one Telecaster.

Left Handed Fender Acoustic Guitars
At the time of writing, there are seven left handed acoustic guitars.
One question that seems to get asked a lot is “Does Fender make a left handed Acoustasonic?”
Yes! I’ve also included the left handed Acoustasonic Telecaster in this section, though it’s not strictly an acoustic guitar. Unfortunately, if you’re looking for a left handed Acoustasonic Stratocaster or left handed Acoustasonic Jazzmaster, you’ll be disappointed, but at least we get one model anyway.
At the time of writing, Fender has released a limited edition Pink Paisley version of the Acoustasonic. These may be a little harder to find due to their limited quantities.
Check it, and the rest of the Fender acoustic guitars out below.

Fender Mod Shop
If none of these tickle your fancy, then you should visit the Fender Mod Shop, where you can fine-tune and design a guitar or bass to your own specifications. You can customize your own Stratocaster, Telecaster, Jazzmaster, Jaguar, Acoustasonic Telecaster, Precision Bass, or Jazz Bass.
Here, you can choose from various different options; body material and color, neck shape, fingerboard material, type/configuration of pickups, pickguard material, color of volume/tone knobs, pickup covers and tremolo arm handle, type of tuners, type of bridge, gold or chrome hardware, strap button type, and string gauge.
The only body shapes that are unavailable to lefty guitarists are the Acoustasonic Stratocaster and Acoustasonic Jazzmaster. Models such as the Mustang, Duo Sonic, or Jag-Stang aren’t available in the Mod Shop in any orientation at the time of writing.
It’s great fun playing around with the Mod Shop platform, but for those of you who aren’t in the USA, the Mod Shop service will not be available to you. US customers only, I’m afraid!
Fender Custom Shop
If you still can’t find the left handed Fender guitar you want, and you’ve got the cash, then you could always hit the Fender Custom Shop (AKA the Dream Factory) up and get one of their highly skilled luthiers to build you your dream guitar.
The Fender Custom Shop offers two levels of build; Masterbuilt and Custom-Built.
Masterbuilt
The Masterbuilt instruments that come out of the Fender Custom Shop are of the highest possible quality and you can fine-tune your order to the most detailed specifications, no matter how wild or crazy they might be.
A Custom Shop Master Builder will walk you through every step in making your ideas become reality.
Custom-Built
Fender Custom-Built guitars are based on any one of Fender’s many different base models. First, you choose exactly which model you’d like; Strat, Tele, Jazzmaster, Mustang, anything.
From there, you can then customize it much as you like to meet your exact specifications, giving you the best instrument ideally suited to your own tatses and playing style.
Final Thoughts
So there you have it; all the left handed Fender guitars available at the time of writing.
With the recent addition of the new American Vintage II Series, it’s a pretty good collection of some classic Fender guitars. I think it’d be nice if we could have more Artist Series guitars, such as the Jimmy Page Telecaster or the Jim Adkins JA-90 Thinline Telecaster, and maybe some more acoustic and bass guitars.
Nevertheless, the lefty range on offer from Fender has some cool guitars, and if you have the cash, you may even want to splash out on a Fender Custom Shop model.
What do you think about Fender guitars? What’s your favorite lefty model? Which models would you like Fender to make in lefty orientation? Let us know in the comments below.
