Hey Bill: It says "PAT. PEND." I have an idea where you're going... what does that mean?

I read about that guy too. Funny they went to black a few years later anyway. So it appears that Fender producing tolex cases in the late 1950's.

Well I did more research. I found 2 other examples of the same case I have, with others that are earlier. The first set is from a '55 Stringmaster Single, the second is from a '56 Stringmaster Double. ...

I appreciate your thoughts and insight. I have enough information to feel good about the history of this Stringmaster.

Hey Steve: Thanks! Not yet. That's a bunch of restringing I'd rather not have to do. My research didn't seem to be consistent on any dating under the pans. Unless Leo signed it... then it's a whole ne ...

Hey Michael: Will do. Just wanted to see if my research was on point, and if anyone had any other info. on the Stringmaster. I thought the Serial Number #01, was very interesting.
