George Fullerton is the co-creater of the Fender Stratocaster. Not a bad thing to have as a lasting legacy of a man now is it!<\/p><!--CusAds-->\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.glguitars.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"ext-link\">G &#038; L<\/a> was the result of Leo having to sell his company in 1965 due to health problems that he was having in the early 60&#8217;s. It was started up in 1980 at the same location that had housed his Clarence Leo Fender Research (CLF) facility.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the musicians who use these beauty&#8217;s are personal favorites of mine. For example:<\/p>\n<p>Carl Perkins, Canada&#8217;s own Gord Sinclair (The Tragically Hip), Peter Frampton and Bob Mayo (Peter Frampton Band), Neal Schon (Journey), Davey Johnstone (Elton John band), Gary Hewitt (Gary Allan Band) and all the guitarists from Aerosmith and INXS.
