George Fullerton (1923–2009) was an American inventor, engineer, and musician best known for his groundbreaking work alongside Leo Fender in revolutionizing the electric guitar. As one of the earliest employees at Fender Musical Instruments, Fullerton played a vital role in developing the Telecaster, Stratocaster, and Precision Bass—iconic instruments that shaped modern music.
With a deep understanding of both musicians’ needs and mechanical design, Fullerton helped pioneer the use of solid-body construction, bolt-on necks, and mass-production techniques that made high-quality electric guitars accessible to players around the world.
After leaving Fender, he continued to innovate as a co-founder of G&L Musical Instruments, once again joining forces with Leo Fender to push the boundaries of guitar design. His contributions have left an enduring mark on music history, inspiring generations of builders and players alike.
