1960s Fashion for Men and Women - The Look
The 1960's fashion for men and women was very different from what we see now.
Men wore their hair short and neat. As the 60s progressed the hippy era saw men sporting long hair, including Derek - when he had hair!
Women wore their hair either in a bob or a beehive hairstyle, which were both popular styles of that time period.
These hairstyles were usually paired with matching outfits that consisted of bold patterns and bright colors.
The Fender Guitars
A brief history of the Fender guitar
In a city called Fullerton, California, over 70 years ago, the story of the Fender guitar was born, believed to be around 1949.
It all began with
Leo Fender, a radio repairman and a budding inventor. He teamed up with local musician and another inventor called Doc Kaufmann - together they formed K&F Manufacturing Corp at the height of the Hawaiian music craze - they produced a limited run of amplifiers and lap steel guitars.
From there, after Leo parted company with Doc Kaufmann, it continued with the Fender’s original “woodie” amps - as they’ve come to be known in collectors circles and were among the first products to bear the official Fender seal.
