Did you know the Telecaster was actually invented by an Australian? Leo Fender, on a trip down under in 1947 murdered the original innovator, a fella named Telford E. Caster, and stole the original "Tel E Caster" made from stringy-bark gum trees, a Koala pelt and half a didgeridoo. Leo told everyone a rabid Emu got him and the Dingoes finished him off. He's buried up by my old tractor shed.

True story.
