Today is Leo Fender's birthday. Let's all take a moment to reflect on what Leo gave to us. We can't imagine what things would be like if he hadn't come along.

Thank you Craig,

As busy as we all get, this is one birthday that should always be remembered.

Cheers Craig,

I can imagine what it would be like - pretty darn sad.

Thanks Leo. Happy B-day !

Here's to the man without whom a lot of the music we love would never have been made. At least not in the sonic form as we know it.

Happy Birthday Leo!

One of the most gifted production engineers ever in guitar making. Every innovation that saved production costs and improved out-of-the-box setup, also provided lifelong maintainability and /or adjustability for the player. Leo and George were the hot team of the day, no doubt!
And the man behind the bass indeed!! If no Precision, what would we have? No Jamerson? No Zeppelin? No Pastorius?
