Description:
Leo Fender introduced the first solidbody electric guitar in 1950 -- now known as the Fender Telecaster -- and rock music hasn't been the same since. The Stratocaster and other classic models followed, making Fender the driving force behind the popular music boom of the '50s and '60s. This visual history traces the entire evolution of Fender guitar making from 1950 to 2000. Colorful photo spreads detail a key guitar from each of Fender's 50 years, while a parallel timeline points out musical highlights. The book describes every model, unravels the complexitites of the Fender operation, and celebrates the company's outstanding artistica achievements -- guitars that have been favored by such masterful players as Hendrix, Beck, Clapton and more. ©2000, 128 pages.
