Here is a link to a very cool article on the history of Fender custom finishes. There are also some nice pics of old Fenders. Enjoy! ;D www.provide.net/~cfh/fenderc.html

That is a very informative site, and a LOOONG read if you dig around through all of it.

Yeah...it's a great resource. I especially love seeing what car models had the finishes that Fender used.

This just shows what you need to know about the minutaie (sp?) of guitar details. Especially when early 1960s Fenders are pushing $50K! Some of those finishes could easily be mistaken for refins, if someone didn't know better. I wouldn't know.

We could've bought them all day long for $250 back in the early 70s but I didn't have two nickles to rub together then. Not much better off now, actually. I just love inflation!
