The Fender Katana is a type of electric guitar built by the Fender company. It was designed by marketing director Dan Smith in 1985. The Katana is by far the most unorthodox guitar ever made by Fender. The Katana was designed to compete with the wild shaped guitars of era such as the Jackson Randy Rhoads and satisfy Fender dealers who were feeling the pinch by them. Sadly, the Katana did not sell as well as was hoped and it was discontinued in 1986, just a year later.

- The Fender Katana is a type of electric guitar built by the Fender company. It was designed by marketing director Dan Smith in 1985. The Katana is by far the most unorthodox guitar ever made by Fender. The Katana was designed to compete with the wild shaped guitars of era such as the Jackson Randy Rhoads and satisfy Fender dealers who were feeling the pinch by them. Sadly, the Katana did not sell as well as was hoped and it was discontinued in 1986, just a year later. It has a maple glued-in neck with bound rosewood fingerboard, offset triangle markers, a 629mm (24.75") scale with 22 frets, a truss rod adjuster at the headstock end. It features a string clamp, an arrow-head-shape headstock and a neck that matches the body colour. The guitar has two coverless humbucker pickups, two controls (volume, tone) and a three-way selector, all on body, and a side mounted jack socket. It also has a two-pivot bridge/vibrato unit. A much cheaper Squier version of the Katana was also made, which had only one pickup, a bolt-on short scale neck and basic volume/tone controls. The Squier version is much more commonly available in the used market than the genuine Fender model.
- A Fender Katana egy a Fender amerikai hangszercég japán divíziója, a Fender Japan által készített elektromos gitár modell. A gitárt 1985-ben tervezte a cég akkori termékigazgatója, Dan Smith. A hangszer nem váltotta be a hozzá fűzött reményeket, így bemutatása után egy évvel, 1986-ban ki is vonták a forgalomból. A hangszer a Gibson Flying V által megteremtett stílust követi testformájával, bár a test hátulján lévő bevágás hiányzik. A test, és az összeszerelés egésze eltér a Fender hagyományoktól: A nyak csavarozott rögzítés helyett ragasztott. A 22 érintős fogólap tetején satus nyerget találunk, melynek köszönhetően a gitár nehezebben hangolódik el. A Katana a Fender rövidebb menzúrájú (short scale) modelljei közé tartozik. A hangszer két ikertekercses (humbucker) hangszedővel készült, melyek nem kaptak borítást. A szabályzók közé egy hangerő-, és hangszínszabályzó, valamint egy háromállású hangszedőváltó tartozik. Miután kivonták a forgalomból, rövid ideig Squier néven készültek további modellek, ezek azonban már csak egy hangszedősek voltak, illetve csavarozott nyakat kaptak.
