<P> In 1985 , in a campaign initiated by then CBS Musical Instruments division president William Schultz ( 1926 -- 2006 ) , the Fender Electric Instrument Manufacturing Company employees purchased the company from CBS and renamed it Fender Musical Instruments Corporation ( FMIC ) . Behind the Fender name , FMIC has retained Fender 's older models along with newer designs and concepts . The sale however did not include the old Fullerton factory ; FMIC had to build a new facility in nearby Corona . </P>
