It was in response to low-priced import competition that Fender first created the Lead Series in 1979, featuring a new solid-body design, hard-tail bridges and cool new wiring options. Appealing to a wide variety of players, the sleek new Lead models kicked off a fresh creative era in Fender’s history.
The new Fender Player Lead III Series offers style, power and versatility in a comfortable, easy-to-play package.
