3. Been To The Museum

More than just a few times!
There was a manufacturing site I used to visit only a few miles from Fullerton, so I'd hit this pizza joint I liked, then do the Fender walking tour, then hit the museum.
Probably did it 6 or 7 times.
Pretty cool.
Leo's birthday is kind of a high holy day for guitar players.

4. G&L

I was learning some Freddy King stuff when I decided to switch from my Gibson 125 to a Fender. Ended up buying a used G&L Legacy. Didn't like the frets on it, but loved the different tones you could get out of it. Leo built this guitar after he sold the company. It's like a Strat, but more robust. These days I play a square neck Guild resonator.
