"Leo's domain was the lab: innovation, getting ideas together on the conceptual level. George's domain was the shop," said Richard Smith, curator of the Leo Fender Gallery at the Fullerton Museum Center and author of "Fender: The Sound Heard Round the World." Fullerton "made the machine that threaded the guitar necks. He came up with the neck shaper and all these unique tools they used. If Leo had problems, [Fullerton] needed to solve them."
Fullerton's lifelong interest in art allowed him to create sketches of new designs based on his conversations with Fender, whose background was in accounting and electrical engineering.
George William Fullerton was born March 7, 1923, in Hindsville, Ark. He was one of six children in a family in which "everyone was musical," Geoff Fullerton said. "There was definitely a music gene going on there."

I like the white better.
Im thinking about buying a stratocaster from a person i know, but im not sure if it is worth it because i cant tell for sure if it is american or mexican. it has a sticker that says made in america, but i want more proof than that. whats a good way to tell the difference?
Hi! The only reliable way is to check the serial number against those listed at http://www.fender.com/support/usa_instruments.php and http://www.fender.com/support/mexican_instruments.php .
