Clarence Leonidas Fender was born on August 10th 1909 in a barn between Anaheim and Fullerton, California. For a whole year, little Leo and his family lived on one side of the barn while the horses lived on the other!

Leo never learned to play guitar, but was a music lover, particularly Hawaiian music. He took piano and saxophone lessons and played saxophone in the high school band, but preferred the sound of stringed instruments because of their harmonics and tonal variations.

In 1922, while still in grammar school, Leo began tinkering with radios and built his first crystal radio, which he listened to with a pair of earphones. At the time, his uncle owned an auto-electric store in Santa Maria, California, and gave him magazines and books full of electronic experiments which the young Fender performed with relish.

Leo Fender's First Speakers

By the time he graduated from high school in 1928, he was hooked on electronics. He had an amateur "ham" radio station called W-6-DOE and was already building amplifiers and P.A systems, which he rented to dance bands, political rallies, baseball games and entertainment events. 1928 was also the year that the first AC vacuum tubes were available and so, along with the arrival of Paul Jensen's revolutionary new speakers, Leo found himself in a good position to build quality equipment and expand the boundaries of his knowledge.
