It would be great to see John Page, Mike Stevens and John T. English considered as future inductees.

Do you work for Fender ?

Quoting the page http://fender.com/news/index.php?display_article=204

“The Fender Hall of Fame is dedicated to those upon whose shoulders successive generations of the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation stand,” said Fender CEO Bill Mendello. “(It) was created to honor and keep the memories of our innovators and former leaders fresh in our minds, to inspire those of us who follow in their footsteps, and differentiate us from all others.”

God, so many Fender Artists, tough to decide. Do you induct a guy like George Harrison who had used a strat or tele a few times, but is more noted for using a Gretsch? Clapton, half his career is on either a Gibson 335 or Les Paul? Jimmy Page, same as Clapton as well as Mark Knopfler. Easy artists are Hendrix, Buddy Holly, Beck, Springsteen, Dylan, Mayer to name a few. As for executives...just look at the early years of Fender and there are about 5 guys who were responsible for he success of the line.
