Stratocaster
1964
Fender
Bob Dylan played this Stratocaster when he debuted his electric band at the Newport Folk Festival on July 25, 1965, a controversial move that angered folk purists who opposed the consumerism of rock music and the electric guitar. Dylan's performance with this instrument marked a turning point in popular music, when the political and intellectual sophistication of folk met the adolescent and revolutionary fervor of rock and roll, and it kicked off the electric folk-rock movement. |
