Bronco (guitar)

The Bronco is a Electric guitar produced by the mark Fender between 1967 and 1981.

Its name comes from the 4x4 " Bronco" of Ford, launched nearly simultaneously by the automobile firm (the two marks were partners at the time, Ford providing painting resulting from its automobile production for the completion of the Fender guitars).

Conceived since 1964 to replace the Musicmaster as a model of line entry, it is distinguished from the latter by its micro placed in position acute and not close to the handle, and by its rest with the innovative design.

Intended for the initial guitarists, Bronco presents a narrow handle to the tuning fork runs to facilitate the play of the small hands. Although the great majority of Bronco was proposed in completion Fiesta Red or Black, the guitar was also produced in completion Dakota Red and Olympic White.

Not having never really found its public, partly because of its single microphone, Bronco ceases being produced in 1981. Its unpopularity makes that it is rather rare today with the E. - U., and almost untraceable in Europe. Although profiting from an renewed interest, it remains relatively little appraisal of the collectors which generally prefers the Mustang to him, of the same form but equipped with two microphones.

It was not republished by Fender to date, but the mark proposes a model " recently; Bronco Bass" who takes again the general design of his ancestor.

Fender also gave the name of Bronco to small a amplifier guitar produces at the end of the Sixties.
