This is an idea I've been toying around with pursuing. Basically, it's hard sometimes to find comprehensive and well organized information on Fender products, especially those are are uncommon and rare, like most Red Knob amplifiers, for example, or Talon Strats.

I'm honestly surprised no one has done this yet. Perhaps I'm willing to pursue a pointless idea? Give me some feedback.

I think it's a great idea! I am always searching for and reading something on Wikipedia, so I think you should do it.

Cheers!

A guy named Jim Shine started compiling info and came up with tons of it, but never finished the project.

What he researched is available on his site, if you're interested :

Well, here's the very, very beginning of version 1.0: http://thefenderdatabase.wikia.com/wiki ... abase_Wiki

Of course, anyone here is welcome to make edits.

I maxed out the number of pages I could have. I guess that's understandable; just about every Fender model I could name/think of or could find in whatever literature I have (books, catalogs) is pretty much there. If you have a suggest as to how I can improve the organization of pages (condensing and so on and whatever), drop me your suggestion here.

I'm going to begin getting into writing the articles tomorrow night.

Keep leaving me support, feedback, negative banter, whatever you want to say.

Hopefully, I'll think of a way to get a wiki that can support more than 102 pages for free. :lol:
