Along with Gibson they are without question a giant of the guitar industry with an absolutely endless list of celebrity musicians utilising their products.

| WHAT OUR TEAM THOUGHT | |
A professionally built barstool indeed. Does exactly as it says it does and is super comfy with the extra large chair, backrest and all round adjustability. Overall a great choice when looking at guitar chairs however, it does come with a higher price tag. |
What can we say, a guitarist just cannot go wrong with Fender. This swivel seat looks incredible and is the epitome of quality from the solid steel construction to the beautifully finished seat top. |
