""<br>"<i><b>Muddy Waters’ 1958 Fender Telecaster</b> (above) — It’s fitting that this guitar is one of the first seen by visitors upon entering the Hall of Fame, as Waters, widely considered to be the father of electric blues, played a vital role in rock’s beginnings. He was associated with the Les Paul for his earliest electric recordings for Chess Records, but Waters soon began playing Telecasters as well. The 1958 model shown here, which Waters nicknamed Hoss, was one of his primary recording and performing guitars for much of his career. Reportedly, it began life with a blond finish and maple neck and subsequently was painted red and refitted with a wider neck with a rosewood fingerboard. The Hall of Fame received the guitar courtesy of Waters’ estate.</i>"</li></ul>
