Artist's Comments

In 1951, Leo Fender revolutionized modern music with the introduction of Fender Broadcaster®, a prototype solid body guitar that would eventually become the legendary Fender Telecaster®. The The Telecaster was the world's first solid body electric Spanish style guitar to go into commercial production. Music would never be the same! The Telecaster was soon followed by the revolutionary Precision Bass® guitar and the Fender Stratocaster® in 1954. The Strat as it came to be known to players is the perfect electric, often copied, never duplicated. Rock & Roll would not be Rock & Roll without the Strat.

Rawk! Once again, flawless work.

Thanks man! I always wanted to play guitar, but all I can do is draw them. Being the son of a drummer, I was influenced in that direction and just wasn't any good at it. Thank God I had my art to fall back on :-).
I grew up in the 60's and 70's when there was no shortage of great guitarists. Some of my personal favorites were the late Duane Allman, Eric Clapton, Carlos Santana, Robin Trower, Roy Buchan and of course Jimi Hendrix. -YD

Great work, drawing this instrument may be as difficult as playing on it :)
You cannot imagine how much Fender guitars remind me of a dear friend, musician and singer,
we called him Pierrot, he was so talented ... the Strat was his favorite,
you can see him here with another one :)
He killed himself because of a mixed love/professionnal affair,
ruined his family as well (left 2 children and wife) ...
Artists are so fragile ...

That's a shame, life is so fragile and all too short sometimes.
Rest in Peace Pierrot. -YD

That's cool, especially for being done in Illustrator, I can't make heads or tails with that program!
~yankeedog:iconyankeedog: Nov 3, 2003, 12:22:23 PM
Thanks! I put a good bit of time into this one. Illustrator is the only vector drawing program I've ever used. I've been using it illustrator for about 8 years. I had a good teacher. -YD
