The Fender Stratocaster, or “Strat”, came from the evolution of the Telecaster guitar.  The Telecaster was the first solid-body electric guitar with a sound that worked and was readily adopted by musicians.

It was heavy and a bit clunky so some changes were made including cutting away some of the body as well as adding a third pickup.

The Stratocaster was born.

Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, Kim Mitchell, Buddy Holly and others make the playlist.
