Way more years ago than I would like to admit, when I was in my teens, I learned to play a Fender Mexican Stratocaster. It became my name on my BBS, and has stuck ever since.
Most people think it has to do with FM radio.
Edit: Also, this question has managed to get replies from almost all of the prolific participators on Lemmy. Nice.
