Hi Papa tom,  "I was pleasantly surprised to find your website where you sell vintage system I tremolo parts. I ordered the few missing parts that I need and I am delighted that the parts you sold me are original vintage Fender MIJ parts so I can keep my MIJ Strat vintage. Excellent foresight on
your part to start collecting these parts so people like me can keep our
MIJ Strats in original condition."

1960's History

But  before you can do that you must learn about the Fender Instrument Company and how it got started in 1946.

It's allot less writing for me if you just  copy the free link:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fender_Musical_Instruments_Corporation

 Ok I know the link is small, one of the hassles of site building.

Back  to the story.  As you read by 1982, Fender USA contracted Japan to build for the Fender Musical company.  Oh you didn't read that.  That is in the Fender Japan part of the story in the link below.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fender_Japan

The   small link above will tell you when Japan was contracted by Fender.  Many of the Leo Fender Strat and Tele Plugs, which were unfinished guitar bodies and necks remained in the Fullerton warehouse until Fender CBS Pretty much Stopped production, for one point for about 8 months in the mid 80's made no guitars and relied on Japan for their producet.  So many new models and different guitar configurations invented by the Gakki plants became a smash as Strat Pluses and Super Tele's and Stratocasters were being configured with Humbucker Tale Pickups and double Humbucker pickups and an array of different electronic and pickup configurations were wetting new guitar enthusiasts appetites as CBS sold to investors who were now seeking to make cheap guitars to make money.  Until then the History of Rock and Roll Art faded into Money making investors.  In todays rock and roll you don't have to be talented, just pretty or good looking enough to sell CD's.  The day of the Jimi Hendrix's, Beatles, Elvis's to name a small few are gone.  Good bye to Fat's and the Ottis Readings of the world and the great Blues singers who OD'd their Legacies to faded memories.  Including the Axe's they played.

I  hope to bring back some of those memories by providing vintage parts and guitars, amps and some of the later equipment the bigger greater bands used up until the 90's.

to all those rockers of the past we solute you.        rock on !  where ever you are.

This jet black Getty Lee body is Alder was about ten pounds because it has the extra long Special Jazz neck made in the mid 80's e series with a 35 inch Power Z jazz bass special neck.  now that's not a jazz bass special like the fretless i have in my web store.  which was the proto type for the jazz special with the p bass and combined j bass pickups. your normal neck on a p or jazz bass is 34 inches so you get an inch longer neck for deeper bass and longer sustain.  also apart from all the gold hard ware and cts pots and 62 bass wiring, you have double humbucking dimarazio jazz bass pickups.  in the first picture i'm boasting these beautiful gold schaller pickups, which you know were the choice of leo Fender from the beginning

THIS BEAUTIFUL FENDER MID 80'S DAKOTA SQUIER below WITH A FENDER SYSTEM ONE BRIDGE WAS AN UNNECESSARY VICTIM OF CHEAP GARAGE MADE BAR THAT IS NOT THE RIGHT SIZE OR FIT. THE CHROME BAR SCHALLER MADE IN THE 80'S IS A WAY DIFFERENT CIRCUMFERENCE.  THE ORIGINAL CHROME BAR IS ACTUALLY THINNER THOUGH STRONGER BECAUSE IT IS SOLID CHROME.  THE THICKNESS OF TODAYS HOME MADE BARS AND EVEN IF THEY WERE MANUFACTURED, TO GET THE RIGHT SIZE STEEL WOULD BE NEXT TO IMPOSSIPLE.  THE FENDER SYSTEM ONE BAR SOCKET IS A CAST IRON THAT WILL SPLIT WHEN CONTINUALLY BEING FORCED UPON WITH A LARGE STEEL BAR.  NOT TO MENTION THE RUST THE SOFT STEEL METAL PRODUCES ATTACKS CAST IRON LIKE A CANCER.  IN THE LONG RUN YOUR NOT SAVING A DIME BUT HAVING NOW TO REPLACE BOTH PARTS, BAR AND SOCKET, IF YOU CAN FIND THEM.  PAPATOM IS THE ONLY PERSON I KNOW WITH A SHORT SUPPLY LEFT BECAUSE MANY FENDER MIJ MID 80'S ARTIST AND MUSICIANS ARE REALIZING WHAT WE DID IN THE 80'S WHEN FUJ
