This parking structure is now located at the former site of the Fender Guitar Gallery (with the factory being I believe on Valencia?). This site is located next to the Fullerton Train station. There is a mural on the structure with a picture of Leo Fender. Keith Richards, upon being inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame, exclaimed "Thank God for Leo Fender, who makes these instruments for us to play."
Indeed, Leo's contribution to making music compares to what Henry Ford did for driving and Levi Strauss did for dressing. Leo later moved on to create G&L Musical Instruments, along with George Fullerton, and Dale Hyatt (also in Fullerton). Leo Fender is a FUHS Alumni and today, we salute his contribution to music and to Fullerton!
