Alder

Fender Precision Bass Sunburst, 1973

On January 26, 2023 /

It’s hard to overstate the impact of the Fender Precision Bass. Deceptively simple, it changed the way popular music is performed and recorded. Here we’re looking at a sunburst, Rosewood fingerboard Fender Precision Bass, built in Fullerton, California during the era of CBS’s Fender ownership. It is dated to 1971 based on its features and its serial number plate. The body is Alder, and the neck Maple with an Indian Rosewood fingerboard.

Fender 52 Telecaster Reissue Butterscotch Blonde, 1999

On January 26, 2023 /

The Fender 52 Telecaster Reissue appeared in 1982, as one of the first wave of vintage reissue models based on ever-closer readings of original designs. These reissues began a few years before the 1985 sale of the Fender brand – but not the plant and fixtures – by CBS to a management group. Fender introduced the Telecaster, originally the single pickup Esquire, to the market in its 1950 catalog.

Anderson Drop Top T Fire with Binding, 2007

On January 26, 2023 /

The Anderson Drop Top T is based on the classic ‘T’ style design that’s been in use since the dawn of the 1950’s. Building on this, it adds a well-figured Maple cap on an Alder body, a ‘vintage-style’ trem bridge system, and in this case, a pair of humbuckers with a single coil in the center position.

Fender Stratocaster Candy Apple Red, 1962-1964

On January 23, 2023 /

Here’s a guitar that needs little introduction – a Fender Stratocaster Candy Apple Red, with components from 1962 and 1964. Here, the Alder body is from 1964, while the Maple and ‘Slab’ style Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard, plus the electronics, are from 1962. Aside from the body swap, one of the only things not original is a tone knob. Fret wear is light to moderate, and the wider fret wire indicates a re-fret, likely decades ago.
