ledzepfvr Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Saturday I went to the Fender Museum in Corona CA with my car club. There was lots of famous guitar memorabilia and the museum has a music program for kids. Free guitar lessons for those who qualify and a scholarship program. I had a really good time checking the place out and any serious guitar buffs should check it out when in this neck of the woods. I'll post some pics later.

Dr Death Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Thanks for posting this. As an owner of a Fender Strat and a Telecaster Plus this place certainly appeals to me. Any more pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ledzepfvr Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share Posted April 19, 2010 (edited) In the lobby. I guess I would describe this as a carousel tree of guitars and amplfiers. Alot were signed but did not recognize any of the signatures though. Edited April 19, 2010 by ledzepfvr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Led Zep Girl Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Cool pictures! I love Jeff Beck. We have a Hard Rock Casino/Hotel close to where I live and they also display autographed guitars. Fleetwood Mac, Bruce Springsteen just to name a few. Wish to go to the Fender Museum eventually. Hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ledzepfvr Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 Blackie Stevie Ray Vaughn I'm not sure whose guitar this third one is, but I'm pretty sure these three were touring the Guitar Centers last year. Anyone recognize it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledzepfvr Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 Pete Townsend's broken guitar in a broken case. Me looking like I know what I'm doing. NOT! When I was 8 my mom bought me a drum set with a picture of Hawaii on it and was soon sorry that she did because I drove her crazy. I had no promise of talent then and still have no talent. Would like to learn sometime though. The hubby has a electronic set in a box in the music room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ledzepfvr Posted April 21, 2010 Author Share Posted April 21, 2010 George Harrison maybe? I did a little sleuthing and beleive it is a worn and torn replica of Andy Summers of the Police. I kinda want to think that the other Blackie and SRV guitars are replicas also. They were next to a exibit dipicting a Fender custom shop. We did not have a docent to answer questions.

ledzepfvr Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 I'll be posting the last of my pictures tonight. Unfortunatly the hubby who had control of the camra did not get any decent photos of the exibits of 2 of the biggest supporters of the museum, Steve Miller and Paul Rogers, nor of the main exibit featuring Johnny Cash. I did have him take a photo of me in front of PR exibit pointing to Jimmy in a shot with The Firm but he was holding his glasses and the arm of the glasses cut right across the shot. Ugggh! Oh well. Indoor concert area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ledzepfvr Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 Heres the web site. http://fendermuseum.com/ Not much in the way of pictures since they want you to come see for yourself. But then I supplied you with a semi tour. But it does talk about the Kids Rock Free program for those of you worried about our youth not learning music the old fashioned way.
