Leo Fender: Fullerton To The World
December 9th, 2023 - March 17th, 2024
Clarence Leo Fender was born in a barn on August 10, 1909, so far on the outskirts of Fullerton that electrical wiring hadn't yet reached his family home. Fullerton itself had only been incorporated for a couple of years, with a population of some 1,700 people. Despite Fender's youth in a decidedly non-cosmopolitan hometown, he found more than sufficient inspiration here: his amplifiers, electric guitars, basses and other innovations have reached across the world, and continue to be a major force in music some seven decades after their invention.
