Emzamweni wakhe wokwenza izinsimbi ezihamba phambili zabadlali besiginci, umsunguli Leo Fender wake wathi bonke abaculi bayizingelosi, futhi kwaba “umsebenzi wakhe ukubanika amaphiko ukuze bandize”.
Namuhla, i-Fender inikeza izinhlobonhlobo zeziginci zawo wonke amazinga abadlali, kusukela kwabaqalayo ukuya kwabachwepheshe.
Kulo mhlahlandlela, sizobheka umlando womkhiqizo, ukuthi baziwa ngani nokuthi kungani lolu hlobo lusathandwa njengakuqala.
Fender: umlando
I-Fender akulona uhlobo olusha - bekungomunye wabenzi besiginci sikagesi bokuqala ukuphuma e-United States.
