Fender Bender 50th

My first glimpse of that most glorious of solid body guitars was in Hank B Marvin's hands as lead guitar with Cliff's (now Sir Cliff, the Bible-fondling old fart) band, The Shadows.

I had to have one. Cost no consideration, and four years later I splurged my entire pocket money on a second-hand beauty in sunburst.

Leo's baby is 50 this year. One of the great contributions to music.
