kid w/ a Jstang said: Ok, enough arguing. George Fullerton and Leo Fender of Fender AND G&L made lasting impressions on the design of solid body guitars. Some were good some were bad. Not everyone can make all perfect designs. Everyone has different tastes which is why both companies have many different models of the same makes. I, personally, love V neck strats w/ hum-cancelling SC pick-ups, while my best friend HATES them and loves Les Paul Customs. Everyone has their own personal preferences, but what can't be desputed is that both George and Leo made HUGE inovations and lasting legacies on the Solid-body guitar in general. Love 'em or hate 'em, their legacy is here to stay....
Well spake.
One thing EVERYONE on this site seems to have in common is that we all love Fenders. It's just that sometimes we can disagree on the pros and cons of specific models.
The thing that gets me a bit riled up is when people dont like strats and teles simply because of the fact that they ARE strats and teles. Some people just seem to not like them because it's more 'alternative'.
I was never arguing. In fact I was thinking today that if I was having this debate with someone in person, I would probably be smiling all the way through. It's just healthy debate 😀
