The Strat would get my vote-after 56 years it still looks modern and never will look dated and out of place like so many of the "new Look" guitars of the 80s look now.The design was timeless and classic from day one ,it was the epitome of guitar design and function when it was first unveiled and it still is.

The Telecaster was the most important; the starting point, the standard, the "rules."

The Precision Bass was the most revolutionary; GAVE the modern bass to the world.

The Stratocaster was the greatest; the icon for all time.

P-Bass, an innovation all Fender, something no one asked for, Leo just realized was necessary
