The Fender Swinger (also known as the Fender Musiclander and Fender Arrow) was a short-lived model released by Fender in 1969. The Swinger was merely an attempt by CBS (which had bought the company in 1965) to get money out of unused factory stock by combining unused bodies from the failed Fender Bass V with parts from the Fender Musicmaster. Another attempt to use excessive stock was the Fender Maverick. The Swinger was never seriously promoted, and low in popularity as a result.


It was however used by Tina Weymouth of the Talking Heads in live performances. It is used by Ben Kweller live and saw the bulk of the guitar work on his most recent self-titled album.
