Fender Ford Mustang Press Release

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 23, 1999

FENDER & FORD  FEEL RHYTHM OF THE ROAD

SCOTTSDALE, AZ - Two of America's most famous companies and endeared cultural icons have recently teamed up to celebrate a very special birthday. Fender Musical Instruments Corporation, maker of the famed Stratocaster ® electric guitar, and Ford Motor Company have gotten together to hit the road in honor of the 35th anniversary of Ford's first Mustang. J. Walter Thompson, one of the oldest and most successful advertising agencies in the world, brought the two companies together for the Mustang "Rhythm of the Road" tour, a fifteen-date music extravaganza featuring The Cranberries, Collective Soul and Fender's traveling interactive music exhibit, The Roadhouse. As part of the celebration, Fender's Custom Shop created thirty-five limited edition chrome Stratocaster guitars, and Ford kicked in one very souped-up, custom-made 1999 Mustang GT convertible that was customized by Classic Design Concepts. The custom Strats are chromed aluminum guitars, and feature "Running Mustang" inlays on their ebony fingerboards. To top that, Fender added an original Mustang emblem just behind the tailpiece, and original Mustang radio knobs for the volume and tone controls. Fifteen of the guitars went to lucky concert -goers, one for each stop of the tour, while one very special winner took home the Mustang. The car is painted a brilliant Silver Metallic to match the guitar. The racing stripes down both of its sides resemble the guitar's fingerboard, complete with its "Racing Mustang" inlays, and are capped off with a classic Fender Stratocaster headstock design. There's also an original Fender amplifier logo on the Mustang's tonneau cover, which when opened reveals two built-in and fully playable Fender Amp Can amplifiers that are powered by the car's battery. Classic Design Concepts also added Torq-Thrust II wheels, and a CDC lightbar to their very unique, one-off custom job. This is the first promotional alliance between the Fender and Ford, but representatives from both companies are looking forward to working together in the future.

Hellecaster Guitars

Originally G&L Guitars had the Hellecasters signed as endorsers. But back in 1998 G&L started doing things like using the USA Fender swimming pool route under the pickups and began mass producing the guitars.  I am not sure what actually happened.  I can only surmise that the members of the Hellecasters probably noticed the difference in quality and decided to jump ship. I know we dropped the line like a hot potato

Today Fender is actually a much better company with a much better product than G&L.

G&L raised their prices in an attempt to gain credibility with the yuppie buyer but they never really did. There was a time in history that G&L built an excellent guitar but today I am not in the least impressed with G&L.
