Fullerton was a Korean or Chinese made brand offering electric guitars (including strat and Mosrite copies) as well as jazz guitars, acoustic guitars and basses. Aria introduced a Fullerton series of stratocaster inspired guitars in the mid 1990s. G&L also have a Fullerton range. These brand and model names all allude to Fullerton, California where Leo Fender founded the Fender Electric Instrument Manufacturing Company in 1946.
