This California native who spent his time repairing radios built his first guitar at age 16. When he created his enterprise, he began to reflect on innovative guitar models. His idea: full-bodied guitars. To better crate the engine, this man took advice and ideas from Telecaster users, the predecessor of the Strat. That\u2019s how in 1954, Leo Fender created the&nbsp;Stratocaster, a 2-\u201chorn\u201d 3-mic model; it\u2019s name directly inspired by the combat that brought two powers to conquer outer space. And yet, Gibson still continued to dominate the guitar field. This was the 50s, when two important things would revolutionize the world: mass production, and rock\u2019n\u2019roll.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">A great coincidence, since the Strat was perfectly adapted to be mass produced, bringing down the price, and making it accessible to a ton of rockers in training. Before Hendrix, the Strat was only utilized by a handful of guitarists, like Buddy Holly and Hank Marvin. Jimi Hendrix had several&nbsp;Stratocasters&nbsp;over the course of his career. As a child, he made guitars with the limited means he had. In 1958, Jimi was offered his first acoustic guitar. It was a right-handed model, but Jimi was born left-handed. So he simply inverted the cords, a habit that he would keep, since he preferred to have his adjustment knobs located above.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">In 1965, George Harrison and John Lennon played on Strats for the album Rubber Soul. That same year, Hendrix bought his first&nbsp;Stratocaster. Sunday August 17th, 1969. On board a stolen van, Neil Young and Jimi Hendrix tried to beat the crowds to the site of the Woodstock Music and Arts Fair. Hendrix was stretched out on the hood, spacing out. No rush though, the festival was already running ten hours late. It wasn\u2019t until Monday morning at sunrise that Hendrix would finally take the stage. 320,000 people had already left the festival; for the scattered leftovers, the hour had come to witness the birth of a legend. The man\u2019s body was prolonged by an instrumental excrescence &#8211; the guitar was a white&nbsp;Stratocaster, model number 240981. The Woodstock \u201cWhite Strat\u201d would become legend, since it was the only one to escape Hendrix\u2019s ritual.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">With his metaphorical logic, the destruction of a guitar was a ritual act that aimed to pulverize a part of himself so that it could later be reborn. On June 4th, 1967, at the Monterey festival, Paul McCartney was in the house. Hendrix played \u201cSgt. Pepper\u2019s Lonely Hearts Club Band\u201d as an homage to the Beatles. At the end of a manic show, during the final \u201cAre You Experienced\u201d, Jimi immolated his 1965 Strat, painted red and decorated with arabesques, before smashing it on the ground! And that\u2019s how the prophet brought the&nbsp;Stratocaster&nbsp;to the ranks of an icon.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We owe the&nbsp;Stratocaster&nbsp;to Leo Fender\u2019s company.
