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.

Leo's first playable Strat prototype was completed late in 1953. Characterized by a natural-finish body, metal Telecaster-style knobs, black single-ply 8-screw pickguard, and a narrower trem block designed to use only three springs, this guitar is pictured on page 127 of Richard Smith's book "Fender -- The Sound Heard Round The World". Comparing the wood grain of the prototype body and specific dings on the top confirms that the instrument shown in the gentleman's post is that guitar.

Contrary to popular opinion I do know what I am talking about from time to time... :lol: Also although Buddy did use a '54 early on, it was stolen from him and his last and "most used" guitar was a '58 sunburst.
