The shop it came from is still taped to the inside and ill leave it to nostalgia. Dale Christian was a repair and re-sale shop in Burbank and the last two pictures are for nostalgia showing he advertised 'MUSIC CONNECTION PUBLICATION IN 1985" for the LA guitar show.
The “Fullerton era” refers roughly to the early ‘80s, specifically 1982–1984, when Fender still operated out of its original Fullerton, California factory.These were the final years before Fender sold to its new owners and moved production to Corona,Mexico making these cases highly sought after.
Originally These cases came with the first Fender Reissue Stratocasters (and Telecasters) from the Fullerton era — the highly regarded ’57 and ’62 reissue models.The craftsmanship and quality were very high, reminiscent of the original 1950s cases.Compared to later CBS-era or modern cases, the Fullerton tweed cases have a lot more vintage character and build quality.
