Who the **** is Leo Fender?

They made a WHAT?

It's made HOW?

It does WHAT?

It costs what?

It sounds like t h a t...?

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.
