Let us not forget that the guitar after which this forum is named bares the name of Clarence Leo Fender, an inventor who, in the late 1940s, came up with the idea for a mass produced solid body electric guitar - the Broadcaster. This design served as the basis for the Stratocaster, which more or less defines the format for almost every single solid body electric guitar with a bolt on neck that exists today.
George Fullerton was a machinist, while Leo was an inventor and between them they came up with the design. Neither of them was a luthier much less an expert in guitar building and yet look what they accomplished.
