LOCAL LEGEND: When he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Rolling Stones’ Keith Richard said, “Thank God for Leo Fender, who makes these instruments for us to play.” . . . Fender, the electric guitar pioneer from Fullerton who died last March, will soon be in the Hall of Fame himself, it was announced this week. “Leo never felt he deserved any glory of any kind,” says his widow, Phyllis. “He just felt he was put on Earth to make things better for musicians.”
