American businessman (1920–1994)
Forrest Fred White (21 May 1920 in West Virginia - 22 November 1994 in Banning, California[1]) was an American musical instruments industry executive, best known for his association with Fender Musical Instruments Corporation.
White began working at Fender on 20 May 1954,[2] eventually becoming its vice president. Leo Fender named a line of student amplifiers and steel guitars after him in 1955.[3] White remained with the company until December 1966. He was also a partner with Fender in the Music Man company after both men left Fender.
Later in 1994, White wrote and published a book called "Fender: The Inside Story" (ISBN 0879303093, Pub Group West) on the relationship he had with Leo Fender.
