abstract:The Fender Stratocaster is a model of electric guitar designed in 1954 by Leo Fender, George Fullerton, and Freddie Tavares. The Fender Musical Instruments Corporation has manufactured the Stratocaster continuously from 1954 to the present.
To cut his parts, Mr. Rodgers turned up at New York's Electric Ladyland Studio with his 1959 FenderStratocaster, plugged in without pedals or effects, and just played.
