The theory: Leo Fender saw a Goblin shark sometime around 1949, it made a huge impact on him, and instruments changed from the influence.

Here's what the earliest Fender guitars looked like, before Leo Fender first saw the Goblin Shark (notice the headstock):



The headstocks were then changed to resemble the tail, and then finally the body horns were added in tribute to the fins. Finally he ended up with this:

if there wasn't the Telecaster between that prototype and the Stratocaster.

Interesting animal anyhow.

The headstocks were then changed to resemble the tail

(telecaster)

and then finally the body horns were added in tribute to the fins.

(strat)

I have inaccuracy accuracy.
