Gizmos, Gadgets, and Guitars The Story of Leo Fender

Leo Fender loved to take things apart and put them together again. When he lost an eye in a childhood accident, he refused to think of himself as broken. He made do with one and got right to work. Soon, he was fixing machines big and small - even broken instruments. Leo cleverly applied the scientific method to craft groundbreaking designs, producing a new sound that would inspire the Rock n' Roll generation. Fender's inventions went on to amplify the talents of legendary guitarists David Gilmour, Jimi Hendrix, Chrissie Hynde, Bonnie Raitt and Eric Clapton, among many others. Fender's brilliant engineering vision shows just how science and art are inextricable.
