There is at least one example of every official Fender custom color represented in Fender: The Golden Age with two notable exceptions, Firemist Silver and Surf Green. If you have a guitar in either finish that is original please let us know, as we would love to include it a future edition of the book.

FUCK

Love when a company concedes that their golden age is behind them. Doesn't that imply diminishing quality?

Really, your golden age should always be the present.

Makes me think of Hollywood.

" If there is a quibble to be had, it is with the title, which is at odds with facts familiar to any Fender fan — and with the very chronology presented by the authors. The actual golden age of Fender ended in 1965, when the company created by Leo was ingested by CBS."

I wonder if the reviewer actually read the book.
