ʻO George William Fullerton (Malaki 7, 1923 - Iulai 4, 2009) he hoa lōʻihi o Leo Fender a, me Fender a me Dale Hyatt, he mea hoʻokumu pū o G&L Nā mea kani. Hāʻawi ʻia ʻo ia me nā haʻawina hoʻolālā i alakaʻi ʻia i ka hana ʻana i ke kīkā uila paʻa kino nui i hana mua ʻia.
ʻO George Fullerton kahi mea hana kikā ʻAmelika mua i kōkua i ka hana ʻana a me ke ʻano o ke kani o nā kīkā uila o kēia wā.
ʻO kāna mau hoʻolālā hou, e like me ka Fullerton ʻAthai, waiho i ka hopena mau loa i ka honua o ke mele a me ka hookani pila. Akā ʻo wai kēia mea akamai i ka hana kīkā ʻAmelika?
E ʻike kēia ʻatikala i nā kikoʻī o ke ola a me kāna hana ʻo George Fullerton.
Nānā nui o George Fullerton
ʻO George Fullerton (1924-2009) he kanaka luthier ʻAmelika a me ka mea hoʻokani pila nāna i hoʻokumu i ka Fender Musical Instruments Corporation ma 1946. Ua hana pū ʻo ia me Leo Fender lāua ʻo Don Randall, a ua pāʻani i kahi hana koʻikoʻi i nā kūleʻa o ka hui, mai ka hoʻokumu ʻana i ka mea hoʻokani pila Stratocaster. e hoʻonui i kona hiki i nā mākeke honua. Ua hoʻolālā pū ʻo Fullerton i nā mea hoʻonui Fender a me nā keʻena leo leo, a me nā mea kani e like me ke kīkā bass uila mua, ka Precision Bass.
Ua hānau ʻia ʻo Fullerton ma Los Angeles, Kaleponi a he ʻano mele mele ma mua o ka hui pū ʻana me Fender. Ua aʻo ʻo ia i ke kemika ma UCLA ʻoiai ʻo ia e hana hapa manawa ma nā hale kūʻai hoʻoponopono lekiō. Ma o kēia ʻike ua loaʻa iā ia ka ʻike o ka ʻenekinia uila āna i hoʻohana ai i kāna hui pū ʻana me Fender. He mea nui ʻo Fullerton i ka hoʻomohala ʻana i nā amplifiers i hoʻohana nui ʻia e nā mea hoʻokani pila o kēia wā, ʻo kāna mau hoʻolālā e hiki ai i nā pae puka leo nui i hoʻomaʻamaʻa i nā ʻano o nā mele i hoʻonui ʻia i kaulana i ka rock n roll.
ʻIke ʻia no kona nānā pono ʻana i nā kikoʻī, ua hoʻokumu ʻo Fullerton i kahi kūlana paʻa no ka hana hana i loko o ka lutherie i hōʻoia ʻia e nā mea pāʻani he nui me ka hāʻawi ʻana iā lākou i nā mea kani i hāʻawi pololei i kā lākou leo makemake a hoʻoikaika i kā lākou hana ma ke kahua a me ka moʻolelo. Ma ke ʻano he hōʻike i kona kūleʻa a hoʻolaʻa i ka maikaʻi, hoʻomau ʻia nā mea kani Fender e like me nā hoʻolālā kumu a George ma mua o 70 mau makahiki ma hope o ka hana ʻia ʻana o nā mea hoʻokani pila o kēia lā e hoʻohiki iā lākou e like me kā lākou poʻe mua i hana i nā makahiki he mau makahiki ma mua o lākou!
Kaumua
ʻO George Fullerton he mea hoʻokani pila a me ka mea haku mele ʻAmelika i ʻike nui ʻia no ka hoʻokumu ʻana i ke kīkā uila Fender Stratocaster ma 1954. Hānau ʻia ma Anaheim, Kaleponi, i ka makahiki 1921, ua piha ka wā kamaliʻi o Fullerton i nā mele a me ke kūkulu ʻana i nā lekiō mai nā ʻāpana ʻokoʻa. Ua kipa pinepine ʻo ia i kahi hale kūʻai mele kūloko kahi e hiki ai iā ia ke hoʻomaʻamaʻa a lohe i nā mele hou loa i hoʻopaʻa ʻia. I ka makahiki 1940, ua hoʻomaka ʻo ia e hana pū me Leo Fender, ka mea nāna i hoʻokumu i ka Fender Music Corp, a ua hoʻomaka pū lāua i ka hana ʻana i kekahi o nā kumu hoʻohālike uila uila mua loa.
Ma hea a i ka manawa hea i hānau ʻia ai ʻo George Fullerton?
Ua hānau ʻia ʻo George Fullerton ma ʻApelila 25, 1902 ma Decatur, Illinois. ʻO kona makuakāne, ʻo George Claud Fullerton, i hana ma ke ʻano he bellman no kahi hōkele kūloko a ʻo kona makuahine ʻo Grace Everingham he wahine hale. Ua neʻe ka ʻohana i Los Angeles i ka makahiki 1910 i ka makahiki ʻewalu o George a he manaʻo ikaika kona mai kona wā ʻōpiopio. Ua makemake nui ʻo ia i ka ʻimi ʻana i nā hāmeʻa uila, ʻoiai ua paipai kona mau mākua iā ia e ʻimi i nā hana ma waho o ke kula. I kona ulu ʻana, ua ulu ka hoihoi o Fullerton i nā mele a me nā mea uila a ua kūkulu ʻo ia i kahi mandolin uila ʻelua kaula i ka makahiki 13. ka hana ʻana o kekahi o nā mea kani kaulana loa o ka honua-ka Fender Stratocaster guitar.
He aha kona ʻohana?
Ua hānau ʻia ʻo George Fullerton ma ʻOkakopa 26, 1950 ma Kaleponi Hema. ʻO kona mau mākua, ʻo Moses lāua ʻo Carla Fullerton, no ka ʻōlelo Pelekania a me Palani. He ʻoihana kamana ʻohana kona makuakāne a ʻo kona makuahine he mea hana hale. Hoʻokahi kaikuaʻana ʻo George ʻo Arthur a me ʻelua mau kaikaina, he mau kaikunāne māhoe ʻo Charley lāua ʻo Eugene.
Ke ulu nei ʻo George i ka manawa nui me kona mau kaikunāne e kūkulu ana i nā mokulele hoʻohālike mai ka lāʻau balsa i loko o ka hale hana i holo ai kona makuakāne mai ka haʻahaʻa o ko lākou home ʻohana kahi āna i hānai ai iā George i ke aloha no ka tinkering me nā mea e hoʻomaikaʻi ai iā lākou. Ua hoʻomohala ʻo ia i ka mahalo i ke mele ma ka hoʻolohe ʻana i nā moʻolelo i lawe pinepine ʻia e kona kaikuaʻana mai ke kulanui kahi āna e aʻo ai i kēlā manawa.
Ua hele ʻo George i ke kula haʻahaʻa ʻo Monroe ma kahi kokoke i kona wā i ulu ai a laila hele i ke kula kiʻekiʻe ʻo Garfield Junior ma mua o ka pau ʻana i ke kula kiʻekiʻe ʻo Lincoln. I ke kula kiʻekiʻe, ua ulu ka hoihoi o George i ka ʻepekema kino ma hope o ka loaʻa ʻana o ka uila a me ka mechanics - ua hoʻohana ʻo ia i kēia ʻike e ʻimi i nā mea e like me nā lekiō a me nā ʻōnaehana leo ʻōlelo ʻoiai e aʻo ana iā ia iho i ke kumumanaʻo mele i kona manawa manawaleʻa.
Ua hoʻomaka ʻo ia e hana ma waho o kona home me ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i nā amplifier no nā hoaaloha i ka makahiki ʻumikūmālima! Ma hope o kona puka ʻana i ke kula kiʻekiʻe, ua hoʻoholo ʻo Fullerton e kālele i ka hana mele i kāna ʻoihana a ʻo ia ka mea i alakaʻi iā ia e hana i kekahi o kāna mau huahana groundbreaking i hoʻololi i ke ʻano o ka hana ʻana i nā guitars i kēia lā.
He aha kāna hoʻonaʻauao?
ʻO George Fullerton he kumu aʻo ponoʻī o ka hoʻolālā a me ka hana lima. Ke ulu nei ʻo ia ma ke kuaʻāina ʻo Ontario, ua ʻike ʻo ia i ka hōʻoluʻolu i ka hana ʻana me nā mīkini a me nā mea uila. Ua hoʻololi koke kēia leʻaleʻa i kona makemake, a hoʻomaka ʻo ia e ʻimi koʻikoʻi i ka ʻenehana o nā kīkā uila.
I ka makahiki 14, ua neʻe ʻo Fullerton mai Ontario i Kaleponi ma ke kauoha a kona makuakāne a hele i ke kula kiʻekiʻe ʻo Laguna Beach. Ma hope o ka puka ʻana i ke kula kiʻekiʻe, ua hele ʻo ia e hele i ke Kulanui ʻo Stanford kahi i loaʻa ai iā ia ke kēkelē ma ka ʻenekinia uila ma 1941. Ma hope mai ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻo ia mai ka ʻoihana koa ma muli o ka maʻi puʻuwai, e ʻae iā ia e nānā i kona makemake nui i ka ʻenehana guitar.
Ua hoʻomaka ʻo Fullerton e hana ma ke ʻano he ʻenekinia me nā ʻoihana pale like ʻole i ka wā o ke Kaua Honua II, akā ua hoʻihoʻi ʻia kēia i loko o kāna ʻenehana ʻenehana guitar i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka hoʻolaha ʻana o nā mea hoʻokani pila a me nā mea uila ʻē aʻe i waena o nā mea mele. Ma hope o ka pau ʻana o ke kaua, ua hoʻoholo ʻo Fullerton e ʻimi i kahi ʻoihana ma ke ʻano he mea hana kūʻokoʻa i loea i ka hana ʻana i nā mea hana maʻamau no nā mea mele. ʻO kekahi o kēia mau mea hana e hoʻololi i ka mōʻaukala mele mau loa: ʻo ka Fender Electric Guitar!
'oihana,'
ʻO George Fullerton he ʻenekini uila paionia i hana no ka Fender Musical Instruments Corporation. Hāʻawi ʻia ʻo ia no ka hana ʻana i ka Fender Stratocaster guitar, a ʻo kāna mau haʻawina ʻē aʻe i ka ʻoihana me ka groundbreaking Fender Precision Bass a me ka Amplifier. Ua hoʻolaʻa nui ʻia ka ʻoihana a Fullerton i ka noiʻi ʻana a me ka hoʻomohala ʻana i nā ala maikaʻi aʻe e hoʻohana ai i ka ʻenehana guitar uila. ʻO ia hoʻi ke kuleana no ka hoʻokumu ʻana i ke kīkā uila kino kino mua ma 1950.
He aha kāna ala ʻoihana?
He ʻoihana lōʻihi a hoihoi loa ʻo George Fullerton, e hoʻomaka ana i kona wā ʻōpio he ʻumikūmālima makahiki i kona komo ʻana i ka Navy United States. Ma hope o ka huakaʻi ʻehā makahiki, ua ʻimi ʻo ia i ka hoʻonaʻauao hou aʻe a komo i ke kahua o ka ʻenekini uila a loaʻa iā ia kekahi mau patent e pili ana i kāna hana.
Ma ke ʻano he ʻenekinia, ua hana ʻo ia no kekahi mau hui kahi i loaʻa ai iā ia ka ʻike ma nā ʻano like ʻole o ka ʻenekinia, mai ka hana mana a hiki i ka hoʻolālā electromechanical. ʻO kāna ʻike hana i alakaʻi ʻia iā ia e hui pū me ka poʻe ʻenehana limahana ma Fender Electric Instruments Company ma Fullerton, Kaleponi. Ma Fender, he kuleana ko George i ka hoʻomohala ʻana i nā kīkā uila a me nā mea hoʻonui no kekahi o nā mea hoʻokani mele nui loa o ko mākou manawa e like me Eric Clapton.
Ua noho ʻo George me Fender a hiki i ka makahiki 1964 ma mua o ka hoʻoholo ʻana e ʻimi i nā pono ʻē aʻe e like me ka lilo ʻana i polopeka ma ke Kulanui ʻo Fullerton kahi āna i aʻo ai i nā papa acoustics a me nā mea uila no nā makahiki he ʻumikumamākolu a hiki i kona hoʻomaha ʻana i ka makahiki 1977. ka haku ʻana i nā koho mele e pōmaikaʻi ai nā mea hoʻokani pila a puni ka honua i kēia mau lā.
Ua hala ka ʻenekinia kaulana i ka lā 29 o Nowemapa 2008 ma 85 mau makahiki ʻōpio ma hope o kona haʻalele ʻana i kahi hoʻoilina i hoʻopilikia i nā poʻe he nui i nā makahiki he nui ma nā ʻano like ʻole ma o kāna mau hana nui ma ke ʻano he ʻenekini uila.
He aha kekahi o kāna mau hana kaulana?
Hoʻomaopopo pinepine ʻia ʻo George Fullerton me ka hana hou ʻana i kekahi o nā kīkā kaulana loa o ka honua. Ua hoʻomaka ʻo ia ma ke ʻano he haumana ma Fender i ka makahiki 1945 a noho ʻo ia ma laila no kahi kokoke i ka hapalua haneli, a hiki i ka hope pelekikena a me ka luna nui.
I kona manawa ma Fender, ua hana ʻo Fullerton i nā hiʻohiʻona mea hana kaulana i hoʻomau i ke ʻano o ke kani o nā mele kaulana no nā makahiki he mau makahiki. Ua hoʻolālā ʻo ia i ke kīkā uila paʻa paʻa mua loa, e hoʻolauna ana i nā hiʻohiʻona e like me nā truss rods a me nā hiʻohiʻona ʻoluʻolu i wehe i kekahi o nā hemahema o nā mea kani uila. Hoʻokumu paʻa kāna hana i ka maʻamau i hiki i nā mea hana ʻē aʻe ke ana iā lākou iho.
Ua hoʻokumu ʻo Fullerton i ka nui o ke kumu no nā hoʻohālike hana hou me kāna mau hana hoʻolālā i ke kōkua ʻana i ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻana i nā hoʻolālā kumu a Leo Fender i mau ʻāpana kiʻiʻoniʻoni e like me nā kīkā Mustang, Bronco a me Musicmaster. ʻO kāna holomua nui loa ʻo ia ka hoʻokumu ʻana i ke poʻo ʻeono-i-line-he mea hou e hiki ai i nā mea hana ke hana maʻalahi i kēia mau mea kani i ʻike nui ʻia me ka ʻole o ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana i ko lākou hiʻohiʻona.
Ua laikini manuahi ʻia kēia ʻano hoʻohālike hou e nā hui he nui, e like me Gretsch lāua ʻo Rickenbacker, nāna i hoʻohana iā ia ma ke ʻano he kahua e hiki ai iā lākou ke kūkulu i kā lākou mau mea kani ponoʻī e pili ana i nā loina o Fullerton no ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ka pāʻani a me ka pono o ka tonal.
Ma waho aʻe o ke kuleana no ka hoʻolālā ʻana i nā mea hou no Fender Guitars, ua kākau ʻo Fullerton i kekahi mau ʻatikala loea e pili ana i ke kūkulu ʻana i ke kīkā a kākau i nā manual aʻoaʻo no nā mea pāʻani ʻoihana a me nā mea hobbyists makemake like. ʻO ka mea nui loa, ua kākau ʻo ia i "Guitar Player Repair Guide" (1977), "The Fender Telecaster: History & Development" (1992) a me "Guitar Player Repair Guide Volume 2: Electric Guitars - Complete Guide to Setup and Maintenance" (2005). Ua kōkua pū ʻo George Fullerton i ka hoʻokumu ʻana i ʻelua hui mele ʻole i hoʻolaʻa ʻia i ka hoʻonaʻauao: The International Academy of Design & Technology (LACTI ma mua) ma La Jolla, CA; A ʻo Eclipse Aviation o Albuquerque New Mexico - He ʻoihana e hana nei i nā mokulele māmā loa i ka manawa like e hoʻomohala ana i nā polokalamu hoʻomaʻamaʻa Pilot no ka hoʻohana ʻana e nā kula lele ma ʻAmelika a puni ka honua.
Ka ho'oilina
He haku ʻo George Fullerton no ke kīkā uila, e hana ana i kekahi o nā kiʻi hoʻolālā kiʻi nui o ka ʻoihana. ʻO kāna mau hana kaulana loa ʻo ia ka Fender Stratocaster a me Telecaster guitar, nā hoʻolālā alakaʻi ʻelua. Ua ʻike ʻia ʻo ia no kona makemake i ka mele a me ka ʻepekema, nāna i hoʻoikaika iā ia e hana i kekahi o nā mea kani nui loa i ka mōʻaukala rock and roll. E nānā pono kākou i kāna hoʻoilina.
He aha kekahi o kāna mau haʻawina koʻikoʻi?
ʻO George Fullerton kahi kiʻi kiʻi i ka mōʻaukala o ke mele a me ka ʻenekinia kīkā. Ua hana pū ʻo ia i ke kīkā Fender Stratocaster, kekahi o nā kīkā uila kaulana loa o nā manawa āpau. Ua hoʻomohala ʻo ia i ka The Fender Precision Bass, ka mea hoʻokani bass uila mua loa.
ʻO ka Stratocaster kahi mele mele e hoʻohana mau ʻia ana e nā mea hoʻokani pila a me nā mea makemake like. Ua ʻike ʻia ʻo ia ma nā hanauna he nui o nā hoʻonohonoho mele, e like me ka rock, jazz, country and blues a ua lilo ia i hōʻailona hōʻailona no ka poʻe a pau e ʻimi i kā lākou kani kūikawā.
ʻO ka hāʻawi nui ʻē aʻe a Fullerton i ka honua mele ʻo The Fender Precision bass, nāna i alakaʻi iā ia e hoʻomohala i kekahi mau hiʻohiʻona bass i kāna ʻoihana ma Fender e like me ka Jazz bass, P-Bass (Precision Bass) a me Mustang basses. Hāʻawi kēlā me kēia o kēia mau hiʻohiʻona i nā mea pāʻani i nā koho hou aʻe e pili ana i ka hana hana kani ma nā pae kālā like ʻole. I kēia mau lā, hoʻohana ʻia kēia mau mea kani e nā mea mele kaulana a puni ka honua e ʻimi ana i nā ʻano like ʻole o ka tonal i kā lākou ʻano pāʻani.
ʻO ka mea hope akā ʻaʻole ka mea liʻiliʻi loa ua haʻalele ʻo George Fullerton iā mākou me nā manaʻo he nui āna i hoʻōla ai i kāna mau makahiki 25 me Fender Music Corporation; ʻO kekahi ke alahaka tremolo e hoʻonui ai i ka modulation pitch ma nā mea kani e like me nā kīkā uila a me ka violin no ka mana vibrato universal - ua ʻike ʻia kēia ʻo The Mexican Standard i kēia lā ma nā ʻano he nui e pili ana i nā mea kani i hoʻonui ʻia i kēia lā e like me nā kī kī maʻamau etc.
Ma waho aʻe o kāna mau hana nui i ʻōlelo ʻia ma luna, ua hāʻawi nui ʻo George Fullerton i nā kikoʻī kūʻokoʻa e pili ana i ka hana ʻana i nā kīkā e like me ka hāʻawi ʻana i nā ʻāʻī bolt-on e kūʻē i nā ʻāʻī i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma nā ʻano like ʻole ma luna o nā hoʻolālā mea kani he nui i ka wā e hana ana ma Fender e ʻike ai iā lākou a hiki i kēia lā e hāʻawi mai iā mākou. ola mau nā leo maʻamau i nā makahiki he nui e pili ana i nā mea hoʻonui hou a i ʻole pahu stomp i hoʻolālā ʻia mai ia manawa mai me ka flanging/phase/compression lighting up amplifier channel switching! ʻO kēia mau mea a pau e hōʻoiaʻiʻo ana i kahi mea kani kaulike ke hoʻokani ʻia ma kēlā me kēia pae i noʻonoʻo ʻia i ka honua holoʻokoʻa e hāʻawi ana i nā kani maʻamau a mākou e hauʻoli nei i kēia manawa!
Pehea ka hopena o kāna hana i ka ʻoihana guitar?
ʻO George Fullerton, i hānau ʻia ma ʻAukake 1, 1923, he mea koʻikoʻi i ka ʻoihana kikā. ʻO kāna hana me Leo Fender a me Fender Musical Instruments i hana i ka nui o nā hiʻohiʻona Fender i kaulana i kēia mau lā.
Ua hui pū ʻo Fullerton me Leo Fender i ka makahiki 1946 e hana i kekahi o nā kīkā kaulana loa a me nā mea hoʻonui i hana ʻia e Fender Musical Instruments. Ma waena o kā lākou hana ʻana ʻo Telecaster, Precision Bass, Stratocaster a me Jazzmaster. ʻAʻole i hoʻololi wale nā haʻawina a ka duo i ka leo o kēia wā o ka hoʻokani kīkā akā ua paionia pū kekahi i kahi mea kani i hana nui ʻia e hiki ai i nā mea pāʻani hoʻokani pila ke komo i loko o nā pōʻai ʻoihana ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi ma mua o ka wā ma mua.
Ke ʻike ʻia nei ka hopena o ka mea hou a Fullerton a me Fender i kēia lā ma ka ʻoihana mele holoʻokoʻa. Makemake nā mea pāʻani mai nā ʻano a pau i kā lākou hana, me nā mea pāʻani jazz, rock & roll a me nā blues e hoʻohana nui nei i kēia mau kīkā i kā lākou hana. Hoʻohana nā haneli o nā mea hana ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa i nā Telecasters a me nā Stratocasters ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o kā lākou mea hana maʻamau i ka wā e pāʻani ai lākou i ke ola a i ʻole ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i nā studio. Ua hoʻomau ʻia ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o nā kīkā inoa i hana ʻia no nā mea pāʻani kaulana mai ka wā i kūkulu ʻia ai kā lākou mau kumu hoʻohālike mua i ka makahiki 1946, e hōʻike ana i ke ʻano o ka noʻonoʻo mua ʻana o Fullerton a me Faulkner.
ʻO ka lanakila nui i hauʻoli ʻia e nā mea kani ʻo Fender ma muli o ka hihiʻo a George Fullerton no kahi ʻano mea kani hou e hiki ke hōʻea i kahi māhele mākeke ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o ka hiki ʻana no kekahi mea hoʻokani pila a mea hoʻokani pila paha. Ma muli o kāna mau hoʻoikaika ʻana i lilo ai nā miliona a puni ka honua i mea hoihoi i ka Ampeg amplifier a me Telecaster a i ʻole Stratocaster fans - inā ʻaʻole no kāna hana hou ma mua o 70 mau makahiki i hala aku nei, ʻaʻohe mea e hiki i kēia lā!
Panina
ʻO George Fullerton kekahi o nā mea kōkua nui i ka hui guitar Fender ma ka honua. Ua pāʻani ʻo ia i kahi ʻāpana nui i ka hoʻolālā a me ka hoʻomohala ʻana i ke kīkā Stratocaster kaulana, a hiki ke ʻike ʻia kona mana ma nā kīkā he nui i hoʻohana ʻia e nā mea hoʻokani pila i kēia mau lā. ʻO kona hoʻolaʻa ʻana, ʻano hana a me kona makemake he mea kupaianaha maoli a waiho i kahi hoʻoilina mau loa i ka ʻoihana guitar. Ma kēia ʻatikala e nānā mākou i ke ola o George Fullerton a me ka hopena mau loa i loaʻa iā ia ma ke ao mele.
ʻO ka hōʻuluʻulu o ke ola a me kāna ʻoihana ʻo George Fullerton
Ua hānau ʻia ʻo George Fullerton ma Akron, Ohio i ka makahiki 1922. Ua neʻe ʻo ia i Seattle ma mua o ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ke Kaua Honua II. Ua lawelawe ʻo ia ma ke ʻano he uila ma ka Navy i ka wā o ke kaua a hoʻomaikaʻi i kona mau akamai me ka uila a me ka uila. Ma hope o ke kaua, ua hele ʻo ia i ke Kulanui o Wakinekona i kēia lā a loaʻa iā ia ke kēkelē ma ka ʻenekinia uila, a ma hope o ke kēkelē laepua mai ka California Institute of Technology (Caltech).
ʻO ka ʻike o Fullerton me ka uila, i hui pū ʻia me kona akamai i ka ʻepekema a me ka ʻenekinia, ua lilo ʻo ia i mea ʻimi ʻia. ʻO ka mea kaulana loa, ʻike ʻia ʻo Fullerton ʻo ia kekahi o nā hoa hana mua loa o Leo Fender ma Fender Electric Instruments Company. ʻO ia, ʻo Clif 'Mr.Tremolo' Wineright, a me Doc Kauffman i hoʻolālā i kekahi o nā hoʻolālā mua no ke kīkā uila a hana i kā lākou mana ponoʻī ma hope o ka hoʻokomo ʻana i Fender. Ma waho aʻe o kēia haʻawina nui i ka mōʻaukala mele, ua hana pū ʻo Fullerton i nā mea hana ʻē aʻe e like me nā amplifier, pre-amps a me nā pickup uila no nā mea kani.
Ua hauʻoli ʻo Fullerton i ka kūleʻa ma Fender a ma hope ma Randall Smith's G&L Guitars no nā makahiki he mau makahiki ma mua o ka hala ʻana ma muli o ka maʻi kanesa ma Ianuali 10th 2002; he 79 ona makahiki. Hiki ke ʻike ʻia kāna hoʻoilina ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻokumu i nā ʻano he nui o ka hana mele hou mai nā lako kani a hiki i nā kamepiula a me ka hoʻohanohano ʻia ʻo Posthumously e NAMM (National Association Music Merchants). Ua hoʻololi maoli ʻo George Fullerton i ke ala o ka mōʻaukala mele me kāna mau manaʻo a me nā mea hou; ʻaʻole wale ma o nā kīkā akā ma o nā amps & nā mea kani ʻē aʻe e kōkua i ka hana ʻana i kahi kani ikaika a mākou e hauʻoli nei i kēia lā.
ʻO wau ʻo Joost Nusselder, ka mea nāna i hoʻokumu iā Neaera a me kahi mea kūʻai aku ʻike, makuakāne, a makemake hoʻi e hoʻāʻo i nā mea hana hou me ka guitar ma ka puʻuwai o koʻu makemake, a me kaʻu hui, ua hana wau i nā ʻatikala blog hohonu mai 2020 e kōkua i ka poʻe heluhelu kūpaʻa me nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo hoʻopaʻa leo a me nā kīkā.
