Fender guitars could arguably be considered the quintessential American axe. The iconic instruments have been graced by the fingers of such legends as Eric Clapton, Eddie Van Halen and Jimi Hendrix. Signature Fender guitars such as the Stratocaster and the Telecaster are among the most recognizable, as well as the most popular instruments produced today.
Founded in 1946 by Leonidas "Leo" Fender, the company boasted the Telecaster, which was the first mass-produced, solid-body, Spanish-style electric guitar. Although Fender did not invent the electric guitar, they were responsible for the first commercially successful model, as well as popularizing solid-body electric guitars (most electric guitars before then had been hollow-bodied).
Though not exclusively used for one genre, Fender guitars played a crucial part in the birth of rock 'n' roll, as well as it's various stages of evolution. Buddy Holly was known as "the first Strat hero," and Bob Dylan used a Telecaster to develop his controversial electric sound. Pete Townshend of the Who was famous for smashing Telecasters in the '60s, but spared his personal favorite, a '52 vintage Tele.

Daily Dose of Style is back in full swing and ready to tackle on new fashion dilemmas, season standouts and much more! Today, let's take on a personal issue of mine. The problem: I'm in a wardrobe rut and have been for the past several weeks. You ever have those periods of time where you hate everything in your closet, or absolutely bored of it? Ugh! And since I'm still recovering from my holiday spending (ahem, over-spending), I can't just splurge on new clothes to solve my apparel angst. The solution: Layering! Playing with layers can produce outfits for you that feel totally new. I have to admit I haven't mastered this form of art yet. I need to schedule some playtime in my closet in fact. Look below. This is what I'm taking about. Topping your old dress with a cardigan, vest and scarf updates a once-drab dress... and makes the outfit all the more interesting! How do you layer? Tell me below! Stay tuned by the way for voguetouch Shopping's Guide to Layering coming in February!
