It took Leo Fender, founder of Fender, and Bill Carson, George Fullerton, and Freddie Tavares from 1952 to 1954 to perfect the design of the Stratocaster. When their work was done, a new and distinctive body shape came to guitars for the first time ever. With its double-cutaway design and an extended horn shape for improved balance, the Stratocaster broke the mold. It was the first mass-produced electric guitar that did not look like the old acoustic guitars. It has proven so popular over the decades that its names, Stratocaster and Strat, are both trademarked terms belonging to Fender. Countless manufacturers duplicate the look of the Stratocaster, often using terms like S-Type and ST-Type guitars to hype their products.
