Fender Frontline 2004 Magazine:
I picked up this 250+ page mag today at Portland Music.
Great Mag!!!
This is their "Stratocaster 50th Anniversary 1954-2004" edition.
Alot of cool stuff to read and look at (and it was free!!!)

This year at the NAMM sho, somebody at the Fender booth told me they have reissued the D-8 stringmaster, but they only sell them in Japan.
Are they by any chance listed in the book? |

If Paul Graupp was editor of that magazine,you could bet your last dollar he would have a section on Steel Guitar.
Frontline is a good magazine,,but nothing comes within a country mile of "Fretts" headed up by our own PAUL GRAUPP..
Mike P. asks and I quote Mike..

unquote. Fender needs someone like Paul Graupp,he was the backbone of Fenders promo
and educational publication FRETTS..
Frontline falls short of the old FRETTS. |

Jody: You are much too kind and I am much too old but I am flattered by your compliments. You know as well as anyone that I never got a big head when I was writing for Fretts/Fender. I think you even quoted someone at Fender as saying I didn't know what I was doing for Fender or Steel Guitar. They were right !!
Regards, Paul |

WRONG.....the person that said that was on his way to NBC after his ignorant remark, to pursue other interests,he was a mattress salesman before becoming a consulant at CBS.
Come to think about it, I think most of those corporate suits came from unrelated fields and didnt know beans about the music business.Maybe some did...one President Of Fender was named Campbell and he did pretty good with his bean soup company.
Those who knew Pauls writings appreciated him
and those who didnt,,knew no better.
If you didnt like Paul Graupp..you didnt like
Ice Cream.  edited to thank Paul for his many contribution's to the success of Fender[This message was edited by Jody Carver on 19 February 2004 at 04:06 PM.] |
