A family friend works at the Scottsdale fender bulding, they dont do tours but due to knowing someone I am getting a private tour more or less, there isnt much exciting stuff there but there are alot of guitars. This branch is more paperwork but they have basses, guitars , amps etc and alot of knowledge filled people. I apparently am doing the our with the head CEO of this branch.
You guys have any questions? I dont really have much to ask them but if your dying for a answer on something they may have it. |

I am going to be honest while I was walking with the two main people I was geeking out, talking about how this bass was not correct for a '57 the logo was wrong blah blah and they just laughed and said wow you know more then both of us combined and one had worked there 30 years, thing is he was in RD for amps and she wasnt even a player , just a manager of sorts. They were very nice, I could not have asked for a better tour. I saw many CS fenders , many artist sigs, they had a geddy lee conference room with his basses in it, a jimi room, George Harrison, SRV, Randy Rhoads, etc.
Best part was I was walking by a office, it said Mike eldred, I stop and looking in he looks up and says hi and I said I have seen you in many fender videos. He said "yep thats me come in " so I walk in his office and he starts asking about me, i talk shop with him and tell him I own a '58 CS NAMM 2005 Special edition relic P bass...... he says "look at this, I have been waiting tell someone came in with a 1958 relic, here check this out" he opens a binder with photos of a real 1958 P bass , he stated how "some people just dont understand the beauty in a worn instrument", he talked for a bit more and he said "hey if you see something you like take it".
I saw many one off squiers proto-types, badass basses people would flip out on these boards for if they were released. I soaked in the details of each. Towards the end of the tour, they were talking to me about jobs. Telling me how to apply. That they know people in personal departments and that I could use them as a reference. |
