It's hard to imagine (Impossible, actually) what Rock and Roll and specifically Surf Music would be like without all of those wonderful Fender goodies!!! Jaguars and Jazzmasters, Strats, Bandmasters, Showmans, Reverb Boxes to kick....

Thanks Leo, We raise our Tiki Glasses to you tonight.

I happened to go to an open mic tonight to see a friend, and Bill Kirchen was there (!) He played this love song to the Telecaster, "Hammer of the Honky Tonk Gods". Seems appropriate for Leo's B'day.

That was awesome, thanks! Jeez what tone.

Mr. Fender's new "Spanish Guitar" epitomized. I think given his love of steel & music from the Pacifica region he would also continue to be pleased with what folks do with the Strat as well, using that bar as intended.
