Unique Engineering

"The guitar industry is a unique place to be employed as a design engineer," says Mark Carlson, a mechanical design engineer in Fender's research and development. Thus far the industry has been successful at eluding even the slightest need to incorporate engineering analysis into the design of its products in order to enjoy continued growth. Nevertheless, Carlson was hired to explore the full potential of predictive engineering at Fender, in which analysis and design take place simultaneously.
