It was initially sold as a "package" with the Fender Bronco Amp, a small amplifier also created for students.

The unique tremolo arm was Leo Fender's fourth and least popular design, and appeared only on the Bronco.

The Bronco, like the Musicmaster and the Mustang, was discontinued in 1981 and replaced by the Fender Lead Series.

The last colors available were Dakota Red, Black, Olympic White and Midnight Wine.

Unlike its older and more popular cousin, the Mustang, it has not seen a re-issue, with the result that the Bronco trem is the only one of Fender's four tremolo arm designs not in current production.
