Bill Carson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bill Carson (July 8, 1926 - February 15, 2007) Born in Meridian, Oklahoma Carson was a California country-western guitarist for whom Leo Fender originally designed the Stratocaster electric guitar in the early 1950's. Carson has documented his close relationship to the early Strat in his autobiography, BILL CARSON- My Life & Times with Fender Musical Instruments (co-written by Willie G. Moseley). In reference to the Stratocaster's "Custom Contouring", he once said, "It fits better to your body like a well tailored shirt should."
