Keep it going Rick. Maybe the powers to be will do a limited edition Stringmaster or something. I don't think that new junk steel did us much good though. I hear they are selling like hot cakes,,, two bucks a stack!

G-Man, I'd be happy if they just made the damn tuners.
To be truthful, I don't care if they ever make Stringmasters again. If they did, they'd probably be manufactured in China like the FS 52 - and they'd probably be about the same quality.

Just wanted to add my thanks Rick. You are handling this very professionally and I really appreciate the effort and care in doing so.There is a lot of good will awaiting Fender should they choose to support these old gems. |

Great thread, I did refrain myself from writing to Fender. Thanks Rick for that action.
And while we are at it, what about the fretboards ?
I own a D8 which has been "refinished". The sound of the instrument is perfect. The look from a close up point of view is not. I am seriously thinking about having it "rerefinished" to the original Fender Blond. I wander if it is worth it. In case I do it, I'll need new fretboards and I'll take any advice about the refinishing job.

Rick,Your are a very accomplished letter writer. Thank you again for your efforts. Question? If Nathan's Fender friend concerning tooling "wasting away" in Corona holds true, what would it take for Fender to let it go? Is there any (1 or more) amongst us that would consider this remote possibility? Forgive my naivety, how large would tooling like this be? Just thinking out loud....TX Rgds, Ron ------------------
