[[File:59 strat-1 1.jpg|thumb|a 1959, rosewood slab-board stratocaster]] The greatest design in the last two hundred years is wonderful Fender Stratocaster: a design so good that they haven’t managed to improve it at all since Leo Fender invented it in 1954. Ok: maybe the introduction of a rosewood fretboard in 1959. But that’s it. And it kills fascists, too.
{{g}}Super fun though badly out of fashion in these modern times, the best electric guitars were invented by Leo Fender between 1952-4, and they have never been improved upon by anyone, including a remarkable transistor radio salesman in Fullerton California by the name of Leo Fender.  


Stratocasters aren’t really {{tag|metaphor}}s for anything in particular. I just like them.
This masterpieces are the [[Broadcaster]], the [[Telecaster]] — actually, just the Broadcaster renamed, and the otherworldly, alien, but sublimely perfect [[Stratocaster]].
 
Gibson and others made electric guitars too but who cares frankly. Fender is where it is at.
