(NASHVILLE, Tenn.) — George Gruhn’s guitar shop in Nashville is a kind of mecca for fine, vintage musical instruments, but even Gruhn is blown away by the latest addition to his inventory. He says it’s the very first production model Fender Stratocaster ever made.
“This is special,” Gruhn told The Associated Press. “It’s not special as memorabilia because it was owned by anybody special. But it is special because this is effectively like having the right Rembrandt or Van Gogh or Da Vinci. It’s special because of what it is and who did this. Not because of who owned it.”
The sunburst-finish Strat bears the serial number 0100. Although some Strats have lower numbers that begin with 0001, Gruhn says they actually were manufactured later in that first year of production. He says the number-one Strat was sold to an amateur who evidently took good care of it.
“This one didn’t go to a famous performer,” he said. “It actually went to Joe Blow Public. But it stayed in good condition, hardly used. And then, a bit over 30 years ago, Richard Smith, who is a curator today at the museum of the city of Fullerton, Calif., where this guitar was made, bought this guitar.”
Smith purchased the guitar from the original owner. Gruhn said the record-keeping on the guitar is superb because Smith is considered one of the foremost experts on Stratocasters. Smith is selling it on consignment through Gruhn’s Guitars.
The Fender Stratocaster, first produced in 1954, has been described as a guitar that changed the world. When it first arrived, its streamlined, space-age contours seemed strange and perplexing to some. But the kids knew what to do with it. Buddy Holly played one. So did Jimi Hendrix, when he transformed the psychedelic experience into sound a decade later. Bob Dylan chose a Stratocaster for his revolutionary electric set, when he fired a defiant shot at tradition during the 1965 Newport Folk Festival.
And 60 years after it was created, the much copied design of the Stratocaster has hardly changed.
According to Gruhn, Stratocasters are the single most popular, best-selling electric guitars on the planet.
Over the years, a fair number of vintage Strats have sold for $100,000-plus, with some approaching $1 million. Eric Clapton’s “Blackie” sold for $959,500 in 2004 and recently the Stratocaster that Dylan played at Newport sold for a record $965,000.
However, Gruhn says the very first production model Strat is something like a national treasure.
“I consider this to be one of the most important pieces of American, truly iconic industrial design, as well as musical instrument design, that we can find today,” he said. “It’s a piece of art, it’s a piece of industrial design, it’s a piece of musical history. And it’s part of our national heritage.”
He added, “I think it belongs in a museum ultimately. On the other hand, I don’t like to see them put in a museum setting where they will never again be touched without white gloves. Even for the Stradivari quartet at the Library of Congress, it does get played. They don’t play those instruments every day, but they are used for concerts. And this instrument is a wonderful sounding guitar. It plays great.”
Lyrical Princess Linda Fry
Mixposure radio and it's community bring a lot of things to many people's lives. Sometimes those things can even be life changing. Lyrical Princess Linda Fry sets a prime example of this being true. Linda joined mixposure radio as a listener in 2008, and today she is a household name to those who are listeners to the mix's broadcast's as well as to Linda's own fan base.
Linda's poems and lyrics are packed with great emotional punches that along with her gentle style of 'word-smithing' takes the listener to the heart of the matter right away. As Linda so eloquently speaks to the vulnerability an artist takes when collaborating, as a listener we know that it is Linda's willingness to embrace that discomfort that allows us today to have the pure joy of Linda Fry's words recorded forever.
Come join Linda & Doug Tuesday evening March 25th (8pm est) for the best indie music available, and listen in to what Linda will be sharing with Doug and all her fans.
Should be another stellar evening on Mixposure radio.
