History Stratocaster® guitar headstocks, screw-attached pickguards and internal body trusses that took stress off the top and back, enabling lighter tops with smaller braces. Earliest models included the King, the Concert, the Classic, the Folk and the Palomino. Fender continued to create many new stellar models through the mid-'60s and was recognized for exceptional innovation with the development of the Wildwood guitars, which were introduced in 1966. Based on the earlier King flat-top model, it came in a variety of dramatic dyed-wood colors. The Wildwood colors were created by injecting colored dyes directly into growing beech trees many years before the wood was actually harvested. The resulting guitars were striking in their vibrant colors and depth of tone. Through the 1970s and 1980s, Fender continued to produce a variety of outstanding acoustic instruments, but it was in the mid'80s and through the '90s that Fender is credited with spawning a wide-ranging and popular resurgence in acoustic guitar playing that harkens back to those early-'60s sun-and-fun acoustic models. Innovation continued in the 2000s with the creation of the new California™ and the Classic Design series guitars. Today, in a direct line with our rich heritage, Fender offers a comprehensive range of acoustic instruments for everyone from professionals to hobbyists and beginners, in models that include full- size dreadnoughts, jumbos, orchestra and concert models; from nylon-string classical guitars to full-scale acoustic bass guitars; and from distinctive artist signature models to exotic limited editions. Fender continues to be a leader in innovation, quality and service. Thank you again for purchasing a new Fender acoustic guitar. 6
