Welcome to the forum djway3474, thanks for posting the pics only about a quarter of the way through them 8), I see some guitar stools and leads around those amp pics, are you allowed a plug in and play on the tour, that would be the highlight for any fenderhead or complete torture if not, did you get to try anything out

Are you saying you got to actually meet Abigail Ybarra? Did they explain how long she's been winding Fender pickups? Since 1958! She started out grinding frets in 1956.
Video interview of Ms. Ybarra here on the NAMM site. http://www.namm.org/library/oral-history/abigail-ybarra Very interesting stuff from a living legend!

Yes Abigale talked to us for about 5 minutes and answered many questions

She seems to be a very sweet and humble lady. Fender is lucky to have had her around through three owners. There is a reason for that. TONE!

Check out this video from premierguitar.com with Fender CEO Larry Thomas:

Highlight for me: 07:42.

Brad - where do we find more info on this custom build service?

There is a room in the visitor center that has most everything they currently make that you can sit down plug in and PLAY it is next to the room where you can put together you custom guitar it is like a tinker toy room for guitar freaks :mrgreen:
