  4. Born this day in 1909 Leo Fender. Founder of Fender Musical Instruments. In 1950 the company released the Esquire, a thin body, fast neck electric that wouldn't feedback when played at volume of dance halls. Adding a second pick-up in '51 we had the Broadcaster which became the Telecaster. Still one of the most popular electric guitars for any genre.

    Need I say the sounds we hear today might be very different if not for Leo Fender. What does a Fender Stratocaster sound like when played through a Fender Champ amp? Listen to Clapton on "Layla".

    “Leo wanted me to be partners with him... why should I fool around with some guy who is not a musician?”: The story of how Fender nearly worked with Les Paul
    Leo Fender saw the potential of Les Paul’s solidbody guitar concept, but the latter opted not to work with the legendary luthier

  9. Trying out #guitars at #mudpiemusic in #Brighton - a great selection but this lovely USA-built #gandl #ASAT in an alluring shade of green caught my eye and felt great to play.
    When I got home, I had to give my butterscotch 1999 ASAT some attention so it doesn't get jealous 🤣

    Just to prove I do play #electricguitar

  10. Su nombre es sinónimo de rock and roll y los más brillantes guitarristas, desde Jimmy Hendrix hasta Eric Clapton pasando por Ritchie Blackmore o Jeff Beck, tuvieron entre sus manos una Telecaster o una Stratocaster para cautivarnos. Desde ya que habrán percibido, queridos chichipíos (?), que nos referimos a #LeoFender, nacido el 10 de agosto de 1903, quien con la fabricación de sus instrumentos (aquí entran también los bajos Precision y Jazz) proporcionó a los incipientes músicos de rock de los años 50 los elementos acordes para desarrollar los primeros pasos en el género
