Fender SO-CAL Speed Shop Guitar

2011-01-26T08:48:00.000-08:00

In 1946, the same year Fender began building musical instruments Alex Xydias, using $100 a month borrowed from his mother, opened the SO-CAL Speed Shop. "I really struggled to keep it going," says Alex. "Sometimes I made less than $100 a month, but the hard work paid off and within a year, I was able to move to a bigger building on Victory Boulevard in Burbank - a prophetic address for what was to transpire."

Even then, Alex was a savvy marketer, and the hot rods that bore the distinctive SO-CAL red and white racing livery and the SO-CAL logo, were the first to go 160, 170, 180 and 190 mph. In 1951, the SO-CAL Streamliner set an American land speed record at 210 mph!

Inspired by the Fender Custom Shop's Master-built one-off, the SO-CAL Speed Shop guitar is the ultimate hot rod guitar. Featuring a basswood body and maple neck with a custom red, white and black SO-CAL Speed Shop paint job. One hot Alnico humbucking pickup, single volume control, hard-tail bridge and super fast neck make this guitar a screamer!

"Back in 1983, i went shopping for my first guitar. I wanted to get a Fender with a worn-out neck, and a worn-in old Strat was outta my price range at the time. The Jazzmaster was $300 and that was all the money I had for a guitar after painting the neighbors house that summer. Then I learned to play on the Jazzmaster, and switching the pickups and using the Jazzmaster's whammy became a part of my guitar style. I can't go back now!"

Located in the crown of the master volume knob, one push of the switch will place your pickups in an assemblage of parallel, series and pickup-combining configurations. You can have the best of all worlds.

Designed by Bill Lawrence, in collaboration with the Fender R&D team, these ultra-sensitive and responsive pickups will "pick up" every nuance of your individual playing style, without the hum-providing a palette of pure Stratocaster guitar tones like you've never experienced before.

Fender Picks

2009-11-23T11:54:00.001-08:00

In 1955 Fender produced their first pick, for 52 years they produced most popular picks in the world, and sold nearly 1 billion. Along with other classic Fender designs like the Stratocaster and Precision Bass guitars, when you see the shape of a 351-style pick you immediately think "Fender". Fender picks are still made to the same exacting specs as they were back in 1955. Many guitarists has chosen Fender picks -famous for their warm, round musical tone - as the link between their hands and their instrument.

Celluloid is the premier pick material. Celluloid picks offer traditional feel, a smooth striking surface, and a warm, round musical tone. Fender divide celluloid into two categories: Classic Celluloid and Premium Celluloid . Classical Celluloid models include the classic colors: white, confetti, black, and shell. Fender Premium Celluloid picks offer the same tone and feel, but in a host of beautiful unique colors.

Matte Finish Delrin. Created by DuPont, Delrin is strong, resilient and extremely durable. These picks are die cut and tumbled to provide a smooth, rounded edge resistant to chipping. The Matte finish improves grip even after hours of playing.

California Clears. Cool clear and colorful - California clears are available in six transparent vintage style colors.

How to pick the right pick for you...
Bigger picks, with their greater mass and larger playing surface, produce a bigger tone than smaller picks. Smaller picks, with their smaller playing surface make less contact with the string and allow for speedier playing.
Heavier pick gauges provide more mass and a stiffer attack than a lighter gauge pick of the same shape producing a noticeably bigger tone. Conversely, lighter gauge picks produce a brighter, thinner sound than a heavier gauge pick of the same shape.

351- is most popular pick shape. 351 picks are often called "the Fender pick", because of their long association with Fender. A wider body and rounded tip have made this pick a favorite with players across all styles of music.

346- are second best selling pick shape, 346 picks provide three playing surfaces instead of one, when one side wears down you can just switch sides. The bigger body yields a bigger, rounded, smooth tone.

347- are perfect for the player that likes 351, but prefers a slightly smaller pick.

354- or "big tear drops" are perfect for the player that likes a narrower pick. Great for smaller hands.

358- or "small tear drops" are often referred to as "mandolin picks". Their ultra-slim profile is perfect for nimble

355- are Fender's biggest pick. Their increased mass produces massive tone and an audible increase in volume. Great for maximum pick attack.

451- are mini 351. These little picks are great for fast runs, but retain much of the tone of their larger siblings.

551- are the same as 451, but with a sharper point. Their small size and sharper playing surface makes them perfect for high velocity lead playing. Satisfy your need for speed.

Fender Announces Limited Edition George Fullerton 50th Anniversary Stratocaster Guitar/Amp Set

2009-11-23T11:52:00.000-08:00

Fender has announced the release of the Limited Edition George Fullerton 50th Anniversary Stratocaster guitar and amp set. The Fullerton set will be produced by the Fender Custom Shop in Limited Edition of only 150 globally and will include Master Built reproduction of a 1957 Stratocaster paired with a Relic Tweed Pro Junior™ amplifier. The project was a creative collaboration between Mr. Fullerton and the Fender Custom Shop Master Builders that evokes the original spirit of devotion and craftsmanship that Fender was founded upon.

The resulting Limited Edition George Fullerton 50th Anniversary Stratocaster is a beautifully Master Built instrument with a two-color sunburst lacquer finish on its three-piece blade-cut alder body. The one-piece '57-style soft V-shaped maple neck has a lacquer finish and 7.25"-radius maple fingerboard. The guitar include '50s-style pickups hand wound by world-renown expert Abigail Ybarra, who was hired to work for Fender by George Fullerton in 1956 and continues to work at the Fender Custom Shop today. The guitar also features a three-position pickup selector switch mounted on a single-ply white pickguard, plus vintage hardware, a commemorative neck plate and a certificate of authenticity signed by George Fullerton himself.

The guitar's partner is the Relic Tweed Pro Junior™ amp, which evokes the revered '50s era of small Fender tube amps such as the Champ®, Princeton® and Harvard. The 15-watt, single-channel Relic Tweed Pro Junior features a single 10" speaker, vintage pointer knobs and period-correct vintage-style tweed covering.

In 1948, George Fullerton went to work for his close friend, Clarence "Leo" Fender at the Fender Electric Instrument Co. in Fullerton, Calif. He became a key collaborator with Leo and played a pivotal role in the design and manufacture of the revolutionary instruments and amplifiers that later went on to change the world.

"Leo and I used to go out and sit in these nightclubs, beer joints and smoky rooms to talk to musicians, to listen to what they had to say," said Fullerton. "We were trying to learn what players really needed for their instruments. We listened to them rather than tell them what we were doing—we used a lot of what we learned in our designs for the market."

In 1954, Fender released what would become the most popular, recognizable and influential electric guitar of all time—the Stratocaster. Featuring a comfortable contoured body, three pickups—which allowed for a multitude of tones never heard before—and a tremolo system that allowed players to mimic popular lap- and pedal-steel tones, all while remaining in tune. After three years of production and design improvement, the 1957 Stratocaster was introduced and is still widely considered to have achieved design perfection.

"George Fullerton's contribution to Fender is immeasurable and to have him come home to be part of the Fender family again, is an incredible honor for every employee here at Fender Musical Instruments," said Mike Eldred, Fender Custom Shop marketing director. "For the Fender Custom Shop team to be able to sit down with him and work on these projects together has been like getting an incredible first-hand glimpse into history."

Retro-Styled Champion 600 Guitar Amp by Fender

2009-11-23T11:50:00.000-08:00

Fender introduced its hardest-working five-watt guitar amplifier. The not so expensive new Champion™ 600 guitar amp pays tribute to the cute and ultra-collectible 1949-53-era Champion guitar amps, serving up five blistering watts of all-tube tone, plus the classic cosmetics that make the original amps so desirable.

The Champion 600 is the perfect low-output tube amp for practicing and recording, with a 6" speaker, simple controls, and that classic Fender "two-tone" look—brown and blonde vinyl covering, leather strap handle, and red jewel pilot light. Champion 600The low-gain circuit of the original was developed in conjunction with lap steels; the new Champion 600 has been updated to suit the needs of most guitarists with its 12AX7 and 6V6 tubes offering a bit more of that dynamic, natural overdrive when cranked.

"The Champion 600 is beautiful in its simplicity; a straightforward tribute to some very collectable little amps." observed Shane Nicholas, Fender's Marketing Manager of Amplifiers. "By keeping it simple, it's also very affordable—perfect for tube amp novices and collectors alike. And it's so cute, you can sit it on the kitchen counter next to the toaster!"

Champion 600 features include the aforementioned all-tube circuitry, a 6" Special Design speaker, high gain and low gain inputs, a single volume control, and an external speaker output. But this amp isn't about features; it's about that classic low-wattage tube amp sound.

Blackie, Eric Clapton's favorite Fender Stratocaster is well known mostly for it's selling price of $959,500, it was sold in 2004 at a Christie's auction to support the Crossroads Centre, a drug and alcohol addiction rehabilitation centre witch is founded by Clapton.

On his way back to England he gave one each to George Harrison, Steve Winwood and Pete Townshend, keeping the remaining three for himself. After playing each one, he decided to build one guitar out of the best parts of each Stratocaster, Blackie was created, and quickly become Clapton's favourite stage guitar until its retirement in 1985. Clapton introduced Blackie to the world in January 13, 1973 at the Rainbow Concert, then he returned to the studio with Blackie to record his second solo album, 461 Ocean Boulevard. From 1973 to 1985 he recorded 13 solo albums all with Blackie. Finally, after a tour concert in Hartford in 1985, Blackie was retired due to issues with the neck, last public appearance was during the 1991 Royal Albert Hall shows when it was brought out for one number.
