Fender Guitars Going Public

Even if you can't play a lick on the guitar, the idea of owning a piece of one of the great instrument companies in muisc history might appeal to you.  The company Leo Fender founded in 1946 will offer the public the chance to buy shares through an Initial Public Offering in New York.  The iconic Telecaster and Stratocaster guitars produced by the Scottsdale, Arizona based company account for dozens of the most famous guitar solos from hundreds of artists, including Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Bruce Springsteen and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
