Perhaps alone among the names of great 20th century instrument makers and innovators, his is well known even to a great many who dont play guitar (as in fact he didnt). His life and work have been documented in exacting detail in many volumes, and his very name has become a cultural icon. Hence, while Leo Fender certainly needs no introduction, consider the following a centennial appreciation ...Seldom can worldwide cultural shift be attributed to a single individual, but such is the case with Leo Fender.Clarence Leonidas Leo Fender, born Aug. 10, 1909, in a barn on his parents ranch straddling the border between Fullerton and Anaheim, Calif., founded the Fender Electric Instrument Company in 1946 in Fullerton.

More than fine musical instruments, Fender guitars and amps are powerful cultural icons recognized in every corner of the world.Leos enormous effect on popular music worldwide leads, in fact, to the realization that music simply would not sound the way it does today without his inventions. As elegantly enduring and revered design classics, the Telecaster, Stratocaster, Precision Bass and Jazz Bass guitars transformed the way that music was performed, recorded and perceived by the entire world such that their very existence fueled not only musical revolutions, but also cultural revolutions.Ironically, the shy, somewhat introverted inventor wasnt a guitar player.
