[Leo] was just one of those guys, hardly did anything. His whole life was wrapped up with tinkering, fiddling around the shop.

Lol....if only I could be so unproductive.

Thanks, great article. The one bass guitar I’ve ever owned (as opposed to all of the guitars) is my Precision. Bought by my parents for me for Christmas the year CBS bought Fender, it’s selling point was that it was made from “Pre CBS parts”. There really was a lack of quality for a few years. The bass still plays and sounds great to this day, with the only mod being the original “badass bridge”. That and removing the thumb rest, which never made sense to me!

I have a G&L (George Fullerton & Leo Fender) Legacy (Stratocaster) and a G&L ASAT (Telecaster) that I bought used in mint condition off of Ebay with hard-shell cases for $600 each. I don't think one can buy a better guitar than G&L for the money. I can't figure out why they don't get more respect.

This is a funny interview. It comes down to this summary: lots of people took credit but it was all Leo and me. And Leo really didn’t do anything either.

Maybe true, certainly a bit self serving though.
