The Fender Company, founded by the late Leo Fender. at one time they were controlled by CBS Broadcasting! These are solid body electrics and the neck is secured to the body with four phillips-head bolts. the materials cost alone is quite small, when I was in high school one guy scratch-built a workable (fender) guitar and the only real hang-ups in making the instrument was in the construction and pouring of semi-soft rubber for the fretboard. the basic cost of materials (wood) was not much more than $25 or so. I think there was an article in a craftsman magazine which spurred the (Stradivarius-junior) into action- make your own Electric Guitar. the Fender Companymay well have taken umbrage and offense as it was clearly patterned after a Fender. This was in the early 70"s at Stevens Academy in Hoboken.
Fender makes the Stratocaster and Telecaster. There are many companies that base their guitars off of Strat- and Tele- designs, but Fender made the first Telecaster (then known as the Broadcaster) in 1950, and the first Stratocaster in 1954.
The first Fender Stratocaster was designed in 1954 by Leo Fender, George Fullerton, and Freddie Tavares.
They're two of the most famous models of electric guitar... both made by Fender.

There are many... Ibanez, Rickenbacker, Yamaha, Gibson, Washburn, BC Rich, Steinberger, to name a few, but there are guitars made to look similar to the classic fender stratocaster like the Yamaha Pacifica, the Squire (made by Fender) and the Torch Vintage.
2002 , it was made in America as well , you can find out dates of Fender guitars on the fender support page by googling it.
Leo Fender. He also made the telecaster and well... Everything fender brand. If you want to by a modern fender you could also look at G&L, L stands for Leo and is his last project before he died. If he had kept control of the Fender Guitar Company, the guitars one can buy from G&L would probably be 'Fender'
Yes, some acoustics are, but no electric guitars. They are all made in USA.
Stratocasters are electric guitars made by Fender. They are mostly used in rock music, but can be used in many other genres. Fenders are not only made by Fender, but also by Squier. Squier is a company by Fender, but they make their products in Mexico, and not in California.
The first electric guitar was made by Rickenbacker in 1931. It was a hollow body acoustic. While one of the first "modern" solid body electric guitars was made by Les Paul.
