Hi! Longtime lurker, firs time poster. My wife came across this in a box of junk and gave it to me. I've never seen one before and was wondering if anyone here had ever seen these. It's stamped "Fender Electric Instruments" so I'm assuming it's pre-85, but that's about all I can find out about it. Any help would be appreciated.

"Fender Electric Instruments" ceased to exist on 5 January 1965, bought out by CBS who renamed the company "Fender Musical Instruments".

You've got a genuine piece of history there!

That looks like a nice piece of history, I'd keep hold of it if I were you.
