1964 Jaguar in (super rare) Foam Green & 1965 red Mustang in Red, both from the @terry_foster collection.
It's always a bit like drinking from a firehose visiting Terry's collection, and last night's visit was no exception. Terry is cooking up an article on an absolutely unique, one-of-a-kind piece of #Fender history for @fretboardjournal magazine, and asked me to snap a few photos. See Terry's story for some BTS content (you will get a hint of what the article will be about, and even get to see what I look like lol!)
If you don't know Terry Foster, you may have heard of the book he co-authored with Martin & Paul Kelly called "Fender The Golden Age 1946 - 1970", which is essential reading for any vintage guitar afficionado, and the definitive history of the Fender company during it's heyday.
If you *do* know Terry Foster, you will then also know that this photo shows some of the LEAST rare pieces in his vast collection of all things Fender. I can't even begin to describe the depth and breadth of the historical treasures Terry has gathered. He has gone lightyears beyond simply collecting Fender guitars and amps (although he has those too), into Fender ephemera of all types...from production prototypes to dealer signs and chachkas to historical company documents to plans and notes handwritten by company officers to business cards (some spanning specific employees' entire careers with Fender and beyond!) to Fender company Christmas Cards to unseen/unpublished personal photographs of, and taken by, Leo Fender. And this just scratches the surface...the list goes on, and on, AND ON! You have to see what Terry has to believe it, and it will boggle your mind. Hopefully he will write another book someday soon...
Anyhoo...after last night's mind-blowing collection tour, I am completely exhausted. I am going back to bed. Enjoy these lovely offsets for #fenderfriday!😂

I made a casual photo visit to my buddy's collection yesterday where I saw (and got to play!) some absolutely wonderful guitars.
I will share more of what I saw throughout the week (in ascending order of awesomeness! 😉), but since it is Monday I am compelled by Instagram hashtag law to start with this beautiful condition 1966 Fender Mustang in (Daphne) Blue finish.
It may be one of the more humble guitars in my friend's collection, but one thing that makes it extra awesome is that he also has the MATCHING MUSTANG BASS to go with it! swipe left.

Kurt was described as a happy and excitable child, who also exhibited sensitivity and care. His talent as an artist was evident from an early age, as he would draw his favorite characters from films and cartoons, such as the Creature from the Black Lagoon and Donald Duck, in his bedroom. He was encouraged by his grandmother, Iris Cobain who was a professional artist.
Cobain's family had a musical background, and he developed an interest in music early and began singing at the age of two. At age four, he started playing the piano and singing, writing a song about a trip to a park. He listened to artists including Electric Light Orchestra (ELO), and, from a young age, would sing songs including Arlo Guthrie's "Motorcycle Song", the Beatles' "Hey Jude", Terry Jacks' "Seasons in the Sun", and the theme song to the Monkees television show.
On his 14th birthday Kurt's uncle offered him either a bike or a used guitar; Kurt chose the guitar. It was an electric guitar from Sears and he took guitar lessons long enough to learn AC/DC's "Back in Black".
Upon forming what would be Nirvana, he was playing a Fender Champ amplifier and a righthanded Univox Hi-Flier guitar that he flipped over and strung for lefthanded playing.
Kurt Donald Cobain died April 5, 1994 at the age of 27. ~He is highly recognized as one of the most influential alternative rock musicians.
