This from Guitar Player Magazine, 1981 IIRC, and has some interesting photos including Leo's first guitar. I'll try to find the rest and post the whole article if possible. Keep out an eye for it. EDIT: JUST GOT AND POSTED ALL 6 PAGES RIGHT HERE: Some Leo Fender history for you PART 2 --THE WHOLE ARTICLE (EDIT AGAIN: THIS IS FROM may 1978 ISSUE)
MEKer - thanks for the post. Hope you find the rest of the article - Leo was quite an interesting man.
