Remembering Leo Fender on what would have been his 115th birthday yesterday. You may have heard of him, his company makes guitars. #80s #80smusic #LeoFender #Fender

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.
