congratz brad.
a lot of people after 10 yrs will lose the passion for their job and it will become "just a job" to them. glad to see the fire is still burning
and piping hot for you.
wow new office, desk, and title.
seeing as this might mean even more work for you and
time spent doing for fender and keeping us happy,
you might not have time to do anything with that body up on
the shelf back there in the pic. shoot me a email and i'll glady take it off
your hands. at a price of course.

Congratulations Brad!! A well respected man!

Just to echo what others have said....Congratulations and thanks for all that you do, Brad. I don't post a lot and I am a perpetual newbie, so I don't contribute much here. I do however read one or more forums once or twice a day, and I quite frankly have taken it for granted until now. This a great place to escape to and Fender is lucky to have you at the "cyber helm." Good job, Captain Traweek!!



Jim

Congrats Brad. Nothing like having your own office. Looking forward to the next 10+ years.

GUILD GUITARS: MADE TO BE PLAYED!

Nice one Brad- it's not everyday you see someone say they've been at their job for 10 years and still loving it!!

I like the fact that you have a guitar stand in your office- thats awesome. Right there- that gives us a clue as to what kind of employer Fender is

We made some one-off Strat guitars for the 2001 Catalina Island Blues Festival, and that body is a prototype for that run -- ironically just two offices down from me there's a completed / finished version of the same instrument in our Artist Relations head honcho's office.



Many thanks!!! That said, I'll say it once and I'll say it again -- it's folks like yourself who make these forums what they are -- and the Fender brand what it is for that matter. It is I who should be thanking you rather than vice-versa.
