A good friend from the days when I worked on Guitarist
Magazine - Chris Trigg of Vintage and Rare Guitars, kindly
allowed us to use his shop to film Dr. Feelgood legend Wilko
Johnson.
Everyone knows
Wilko for his manic style and '1,000 yard stare' when ripping it up
with a Telecaster - but wait until you see the interview!
Wilko is a real hilarious character - and tells us the
fascinating story of his lifelong love of
Tele's. We also have some amazing vintage footage of the great man
performing on the same bill with Bo Diddley.
We still have a number of great players to catch
up with – including Liverpool based Tele’ wacker Keith
Xander and Mick Green of The Pirates. Keith Richard's office
telephoned me late last Summer, to say he is very interested in
doing an interview. Hopefully, we can
pin down The Rolling Stones legend in the very near
future. The same goes for Billy Gibbons, Chrissie Hynde and Bruce
Springsteen - a film about the Telecaster wouldn't be the same without them, so we've sent out
the requests and invitations to their respective
managers.

A chance to see some of our exciting footage including
EXCLUSIVE interviews with Richie Kotzen, Malina Moye and Al Jardine, founding member of the Beach Boys... |

On
top of all this, we have some wonderful people speaking about the
guitar they all love so much. Author Tom Wheeler knew Leo very well,
and relays his memories for us. Norman Harris of Norm's Rare Guitars in Hollywood, shows us
some of the cleanest vintage Fender's you will ever see - and talks
with passion about the marque.
Well
known collector Mac Yasuda and Fender historian Richard Smith are
filmed at the Fullerton Museum, reviewing the beautiful Broadcasters, Esquires, No-Casters and
Telecasters on display - including Roy Buchanan's famed
'Nancy'.
And
then - thanks to Jason Farrell and David Brown, we have
unprecedented access to the Fender factory and Custom Shop.
This is like a kid being let loose in Willy
Wonka's Chocolate Factory!
We
have amazing footage and interviews with the builders and
creators of some of the most famous guitars in
the world.
And then, to cap it all, the legendary
Abigail Ybarra - who has worked at Fender since 1956 - tells
us exclusively, what makes her pickups so
magical.
Could you wish for more? How about
recently discovered film from the Fender factory in the 1950’s shot
by none other than Forrest
White.
Thanks to Forrest’s son Curtis, we have
permission to show some amazing historical footage of the very first
productions lines – and prototype instruments you may never have
seen before!
