Description
No one changed the sound of guitar music more than Leo Fender. He so improved the clarity of the amplified vibrating string that he gave almost every style of music played on the guitar a means to sound better. For five decades, finicky musicians made pilgrimages to Leo’s R and D labs to discuss their musical frustrations and seek better ways for guitars to function. In this book, you will watch this complex, dedicated man gain success as a true innovator. You will also follow the team of energetic, creative people who steered Fender to fame, men like Don Randall of Fender Sales, Forrest White and George Fullerton of Fender Electric Instruments, Dale Hyatt and Tommy Walker, two of Randall’s growing cadre of savvy, salesmen who spread Leo’s ideas worldwide. This first edition book contains the largest collection of Fender historical photos, product shots, patent drawings and advertising materials ever published. This is the ultimate and definitive book presenting the complete, unedited Fender story.
