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".

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
