Fender and the Revolution of Music

Leo Fender and "Doc" Kauffman are credited for the creation of the first, highly successful electronic musical instruments and could be said to have been the leaders of a musical revolution. Prior to their work with solid-body electric guitars, electronic pick-ups were placed on Spanish guitars which had hollow bodies and a sound box designed to amplify the vibrations of the strings without electrical amplification. A problem arose with that design in that the pick-ups gathered not only the strings vibrations to amplify electronically, but also the out-of-phase vibrations from the hollow-body's sound box. What resulted was unwanted feedback that totally distorted the sound the musician wanted. Fender's solid body guitars were able to pick up the sounds from the strings making amplified signals pure and clean, even at high volume.
