Did you notice the guy shaping the Strat body on the huge belt sander? You really need to watch it a few times to catch all of the details.

Wow, Wonderful video! Thanks for sharing, Note that the guy painting doesn't have a mask on... Good ventilation or not, I'm sure we can all agree that's not such a great idea!

Dennis, isn't the fellow sitting with Leo Fender Freddy Tavares? He is credited with having a lot to do with the design of the Strat.

He was a Hawaiian-born steel guitar player and the first few seconds of the piece in this YouTube video is his contribution:

Fascinating piece of history.
