"That Telecaster peg head was very small, and people used to make fun of it—‘Looks like a bare foot,’ and so on—but there was a reason for doing that. Supplies were scarce in those days. We used to buy maple wood, and a lot of pieces were fairly narrow, so we designed a way we could get two [necks] out of it by having one end one way and the other end the other way. That wouldn’t work with the wider Strat peg head, so we had to spend more money on it.” - George Fullerton
( No one's laughing at the Telecaster now especially if you have one of the originals! Larry Dimarzio gives you a guided tour of his 51 Telecaster. - Ed)
