In fact, he so improved the clarity of the amplified vibrating string that almost every style of music played on the guitar was given a means to sound better. For five decades finicky musicians made pilgrimages to Leo's R&D labs to discuss their musical frustrations, to work out better ways for guitars to function. In these pages you will watch this complex, dedicated man gain success as a true inventor of the new. You will also follow the unusual team of energetic, creative people who steered him to fame, men like Don Randall of Fender Sales, Forrest White and George Fullerton of Fender Electric Instruments, and Dale Hyatt and Tommy Walder, two of Randall's growing cadre of savvy, high powered salesmen spreading Leo's innovative ideas worldwide. This is the ultimate, definitive Fender book, whether you are a musician, a lover of fender lore, an avid instrument collector, or simply a curious history buff. |
