This book is for guitar players, collectors, and fans of the performing arts. While it details the Stratocaster's structural evolution, its larger function is to lend perspective to all the facts and dates. The Stratocaster Chronicles gives voice to the people behind the guitar, providing a forum for them to recount the tale of the Strat as a reflection of musical tastes, manufacturing necessities, industry competition, and economic trends. It recognizes the unique 50-year relationship between the guitar, its players famous and obscure, and the music they made and continue to make together. Tom writes . .
As we celebrate the golden anniversary of the Stratocaster, Mr. Fender's vision still unfolds, still reveals itself. Fifty years out, we stand in awe at the essential rightness of the Strat as generation after generation responds to its call with passion and creativity, taking the guitar and music to places Clarence Leo Fender never could have imagined. As a musical instrument, the Stratocaster will always be Leo Fender's guitar. As a dream machine, it belongs to the world.
