Made in the USA in 1982, this is a players-grade Fender Lead I that will put a smile on your face as soon as you pick it up. Ash body under an aged black finish with a slim C maple neck and a 21 fret rosewood fingerboard (648mm scale length, 41mm nut), it weighs 3.8kg's. Appears close to all original as pictured with master volume/tone knobs and a three-way pickup selector (single, humbucker, single) and a two-way phase toggle for way more tonal options than you'd expect.
Good vintage condition with plenty of cosmetic wear and one major ding as pictured. The neck has been played significantly and feels incredibly soft and smooth in the hand. The frets have plenty of life and are polished and smooth, the truss works as it should and the neck is straight. One tuner is slightly bent otherwise all the hardware is in great shape.

Fender Lead I
The Fder Lead Series was produced by the Fder/Rogers/Rhodes Division of CBS Musical Instrumts. The series comprised Lead I, Lead II, Lead III and Lead Bass models.
The original concept for the Lead guitar series, including the name Lead came from Dnis Handa, th Marketing director for Fder Guitars. The idea was to have a guitar that was cheaper than the Stratocaster and be attractive to players because of the neck feel as well as the pickup options. The smaller headstock and the neck were both patterned after earlier Fder necks. Originally Steve Morse of the Dixie Dregs was the first dorser of the guitar and premiered it at a NAMM Show show in Atlanta, Georgia. The Lead Guitars were manufactured betwe 1979 and 1982 by the Fder Musical Equipmt Co. under the direction of Gregg Wilson and Freddie Tavares. Gregg Wilson was succeeded by John Page, who evtually headed the Fder Custom Shop. The Lead Series have elemts of the Stratocaster and Telecaster in their design with a body that is slightly smaller and with a slightly differt shape than the Stratocaster, a Stratocaster-like neck (and headstock), and hardtail bridge with Telecaster-like string ferrules on the back of the body.
The Lead Series headstock was smaller than that of the th Stratocaster models and similar though not idtical to the 1954 Stratocaster design. The Stratocaster models at the time of the Lead Series release in late 1979 were still using the larger headstock design until the introduction of the Dan Smith Stratocaster in 1981. At some point during 1982 the lower bout of the headstock was shifted towards the body giving the headstock a more elongated look.

The Lead Series were manufactured at Fder's Fullerton, California plant and priced below the Stratocaster models of the time (approx. $495.00). They were evtually replaced in Fder's line up by the Squier JV model in 1982 as Fder expanded its operations by starting Fder Japan.
In January 2020 Fder reintroduced the Lead II and III as a part of their Player series. These Made in Mexico recreations sport an alder body, two slanted alnico V single coils (Lead II), alnico II humbuckers (Lead III) and a modern C-shaped maple neck with maple or pau ferro fretboard, 9.5” radius, 22 medium jumbo frets. Other features include a synthetic bone nut, F tuners and a string-through-body bridge with block saddles.

The DC resistance of the Lead I/III Seth Lover designed humbucker pickup is approximately 13 kΩ. The Lead I/III humbucker pickups have 12 adjustable pole pieces and have a ceramic magnet.
The DC resistance of the Lead II X-1 single coil pickup is approximately 7.5 kΩ (9600 coil winds) vrs (7600 coil winds) on a Stratocaster. Lead II single coil pickups have flat alnico polepieces. Early Lead II single coil pickups have bobbins formed of gre/grey fibreboard and later Lead II single coil pickups have plastic moulded bobbins that are the same as that used on currt Stratocasters.
The Lead Series use 250 kΩ volume and tone pottiometers and use 0.05 µF tone capacitors. The body is usually made of 3 pieces of either alder or ash while the necks are maple with a walnut 'skunk stripe' on their backs and a matching plug on the face of the headstock covering the d of the truss rod.

Maple fingerboarded necks are made of one piece of maple (no separate fingerboard) while rosewood fingerboarded necks have a thick veer of rosewood stuck over the pre-radiused face of the neck. While the lead neck is approximately .04 in narrower at the nut than typical Fder Telecasters and Stratocasters of that era, the neck width at the 21st fret is the same as the Stratocaster and Tele (measuring 2.182 inches).
The pickup body routing is the same for the Lead I and the Lead II models (humbucker bridge and single coil neck routing). The grounding system in all three of the series didn't stop with the foiled backing on the pickguard. A ground strap was screwed to the body routing pocket betwe the bridge pickup and the pickup selector switch cavity. The body pockets were covered with a conductive coating. The bridge ground wire was connected here with a common connection to the pickguard ground.
Later year Fder Lead models have a more contoured body and there are two subtle variations in headstock shape, one of which (softer contour) used tooling dating back to the 1950s Stratocaster (as with the Dan Smith Stratocaster). Neck profile and headstock thickness varied slightly throughout the production run for all Fder Lead models of differt years. Many instrumts used a polyurethane finish which is brittle, chips easily, and develops spider cracks if exposed to extremes of heat or cold. The finish is also prone to clouding.

The Fder Lead Series used a modified version of the Fder United States serial number format. The first letter E designated the eighties, and the next two numbers (00, 01, or 02) indicated the year of manufacture. For example, E01XXXX = 1981.
Fder Lead Series guitar serial numbers were installed on the headstock, inside body pocket, and back of the pick guard. An all original model may have the same serial number idtifier on each of these major parts.Bei n Fenr Lead Series hanlt es sich um Elektrogitarrenmolle r Firma Fenr. Sie waren bzw. sind vor allem für die Nutzung durch Einsteiger und Neulinge gedacht.
Die Elektrogitarrenmolle Fenr Lead I und Lead II wurn erstmals 1979 als preiswerte Einsteigermolle eingeführt, um die Bronco, Mustang und Musicmaster, seinerzeit die günstigsten Molle in r Fenr-Preisliste, zu ersetzen. Zuminst die Mustang blieb jedoch für einige Zeit weiterhin im Angebot. Auch wenn für Einsteiger geplant, war die Lead kein Tiefpreismoll. Die Gitarren kosteten bei ihrer Einführung in r Bunsrepublik zwischen 850, - und 900, - DM (inklusive Gitarrenkoffer). Eine Stratocaster war damals für etwa 1.300, - bis 1.400, - DM zu haben. Da günstige und qualitativ gute japanische Gitarren damals für etwa 500, - bis 700, - DM erhältlich waren, hielt sich r Absatz r Lead-Molle in Grenzen. Mit r Einführung r Fenr-eigenen Squier-Molle ma in Japan im Jahr 1982 ente auch die Produktion r Lead-Serie.
