I also love my “real” Fender stuff! Rest in peace George! You did a wonderful job.
‘52 Pro Amp
‘56 Pro Amp
‘58 Bassman
‘63 Super (Vibrate-oh! that never ends)
‘64 Vibroverb
‘64 Vibro Champ
‘74 Princeton Reverb
‘91 Deluxe (white, with a ‘60’s Jensen)
‘57 Strat (San Marino Blue! Just like the Eldorados that year!)
2 ‘ 80’s MIJ Telecaster Customs (fabulous guitars! the wood, I think)
Recent Nashville Tele with a Bigsby added.
Recent Baritone Strat (A killer)

So,,, all of these wonderful material possessions that I wouldn’t have unless Leo and George were there to create them! Thanks guys!

I knew I’d forget something! Too much stuff! But a vintage dealer buddy told me “If it says “Fender,” keep it!” I also have a Quad Reverb that was converted to Blackface, in split cabs, running a 15” JBL for my steel guitars.
Oh! And the Stand-alone Reverb! Bet I’m still forgetting something,,,,,,
Even my car plates say “Tele”

oh yeah....I forgot, I also have a fender bass VI. By the way, if you want some really nice fenders, try for those “not for export” MIJ fenders. They are near custom shop quality for one tenth the price plus they are great to beat up on. They make a 65 sunburst strat RI that is outstanding. They also have their own version of Dave Gilmores 54 strat. If you check around enough you can also find some MIJ fenders in some very hard to find custom colors. Ebay is a source but if you google around the Japanese guitar stores you can find some nice stuff. Fender USA has really gone out of their way to block Fender Japan from exports however...........
