Bill Carson - My Life And Times With Fender Musical Instruments
Ever since he walked into Leo Fender's shop in Fullerton, California, in 1951, guitarist Bill Carson has epitomized the travails and triumphs of the legendary manufacturer of guitars and amplifiers, Fender Musical Instruments, from its humble and hand-to-mouth early years to its current position as the number one guitar company in the world.
Bill Carson's story includes his recollections as the "test pilot" for the Fender Stratocaster (which would become the world's most popular electric guitar), Supervisor For Guitar Production at the Fullerton factory, Director Of Artist Relations, District Sales Manager, and National Sales Manager. The good times and the hard times are chronicled by Carson in an easy-going, conversational manner, and additional commentary is provided by his co-workers (past and present), former musical associates, and other friends and fans.
