It’s not often you hear a story about “your guitar” on National Public Radio – but NPR’s Weekend Edition Saturday featured just such a story last Saturday (Jan 3, 2015). In honor of the iconic guitar’s 60th Anniversary (last year) the radio program praised the Strat and inverviewed Fender VP of Marketing, Justin Norvell and author, museum curator Richard Smith about the guitar and it’s importance.
It’s not the first time that NPR has honored the Strat – 20 years earlier they ran a “Strat at 40” puff piece.
In case you missed it – here’s a link to the story and a sound file version as well.
