Fact of the Day: This musical innovator did not play music!​

Fender is one of the most popular guitar brands known to date, and its flagship model, the Stratocaster, is one of the most famous guitars used by many giants in music history.

However, the brain's behind Fender was not a professional musician.

Leo Fender's interest and expertise was solidly in creation, not performance.

While he briefly played piano and saxophone in his younger days, he never learned how to play the guitar.
