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.

Need I say the sounds we hear today might be very different if not for Leo Fender. What does a Fender Stratocaster sound like when played through a Fender Champ amp? Listen to Clapton on "Layla".

Sorry… I’ve been watching The X Files lately. It was bound to rub off on my tiny little pea brain.

I really want to play some guitar today, but I don’t think I am going to have the time. Still, I took today’s photo a day picture as a specific attempt to try and guilt myself into playing. I do this a lot and it almost never works. Oh well.
