Fender Introduces Two Dynamite Guitars
1979

Launch advertizing for the Lead 1 and lead 2 guitars, featuring Steve Morse

New Fenders blow out any other guitar on the market. The Lead I arms you with a more highly explosive humbucking sound than anything around. The Lead II brings that legendary Fender sound to a white heat. All this is the result of super hot-rodded pickups, totally new circuitry and switching capabilities that open up an unduplicated range of sounds. Full-scale Fenders. On each guitar, we've coupled a full-scale 25 1/2 inch neck to a heavier ash body for perfect feel and balance. Not that we set out to add weight to these guitars —but because increased mass and density are the logical coefficients of Lead I's and Lead II's functions.
