Forget all about that so called, 'traceability' and 'factual documentation'! Its all rubbish!! I, yes, me, I have the first Fender guitar, case and amp ever made!!! You don't believe me? Well then, read on but be advised:

I can't post pictures because I broke my camera; I broke my glasses so I can't give you any numbers or letters off the guitar; it might have a tremolo but the bridge plate shines too brightly from the chrome with all the lighting in my million dollar recording studio and all upon it and I certainly don't want to take the guitar out of the case to check merely for tremolo springs. Even the case has all its original dings, scuffs and scratches so I know this is the first one ever made for a Fender too. I'm also color blind so I can't tell you what color the guitar or the case is. I can tell you the neck is absolutely, positively made of wood; so right here alone, is your definitive proof!

I found it yea, that's it, I found it while cleaning some old guy's attic and before he died, he told me how he and his protege, Clarence Bumper (or something or other like that) where building the first decent guitar amp and then he suggested to Clarence that they build the first snazzy looking solid body guitar. Clarence exclaimed, "Truly, you are a genius!" And the rest as they say, is history.

I can't remember the old guy's name with the attic though. And I know this guy wasn't lying because as everybody knows, no one lies on their death bed. He gave me the guitar, the case and the amp for free because he said he knew I liked music and with this particular kit, I'd, "Surely rise head and shoulders above the masses". He suggested I call all these goodies he bestowed upon me, "Fenders" because he spotted me placing them right next to my car's front quarter panel in order to get my keys out. He told me point blank that I should call the guitar a, "Strat" because I took it 'strat' to my car.

To this day, I still marvel at this venerable genius' intuitiveness and foresight. He, like myself was a profound human being.

A bit more on the amp: Again, I can't verify or post anything tangible about it due to any and all of the above predicaments which I, through no fault of my own, find myself in.

And if any of you don't believe me, then I'll piss and moan and make a general pubicle out of myself until you feel incredibly sorry for me and decide to believe me once again!

And just to prove I'm not full of any bull turd, I'll let you all in on a well kept secret: I taught EVH, Jeff Beck, Hendrix and just about any bonafide guitar hero you've ever listened to EVERYTHING they know. I just asked them all that we collectively keep such things quiet due to my modest nature. So, the next time you hear ANY of them, you are hearing a watered down version of ME!!

Lastly, I'm sorry but I have no recorded music of my own because my playing is so smokin' hot, it immediately fries whatever media I use to try and preserve it on.

Next time, I'll tell you how I got the first Tele unless you've heard the story already and would like to tell (or guess) it to others for me.

This is a total waste of bandwidth. And a lie of the first order.

Wait a minute...I have the first guitar...in my mansion...in the Bahamas...alongside one of each Custom Strat ever made...and that room overlooks my 50-stall garage which houses the collection of cars I bought from Jay Leno...which is near the Fountain of Youth (I discovered it you know) :wink:

Boy these stories are getting crazier... :lol:

Since you do not have a camera, can you do a pencil rubbing of one of the pots, scan it, and post it. Make sure you have the numbers visable. Ah forget it, sounds legit to me.

Dont forget the time you bought a fake guitar and the kind man on ebay refunded your money in full, what a beautiful institution of honesty.
