1959 Fender Factory Tour 8mm film
« on: May 24, 2011, 09:18:07 AM »
Found this video on Youtube of a tour of the Fender factory in 1959. It's really fascinating to me to see how something as futuristic looking as a Strat was made in such a low-tech. mass-produced manner. It shows the design and engineering genius of Fender, Tavares et al I think.

I've seen stills from this video before but never the actual movie.
