In 1974, Fender electronics dropped their name from the Rhodes piano, giving full credit to it's creator, the late Harold Rhodes. The photo of the Mk. I is from CBS as CBS controlled Fender for their guitars and for the early Rhodes pianos in the mid '60s up through the mid to late '70s. Subsequent versions of the Rhodes were built in the '80s and '90s including the Mk. V. They are up to the Mk. VII by now. Some other digital piano companies have tried to emulate the Rhodes design as well.
