oversights
No mention of Marty Stuart's "Clarence"?

Or J.J. Cale's long-suffering Harmony Sovereign? Weeb Dingle (talk) 03:16, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
 * If only there was some way for you to add them to the article. Someone should design a version of this website where people who have information that they think is important and want to share can add it to relevant articles. Too bad that sort of thing is probably way off in the future. PaulCHebert (talk) 05:14, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
 * …or perhaps Wikipedia is overstuffed with ridiculously sophomoric fanboy trivia and ephemera that in no way deserves to be glorified as '''encyclopedic.
 * (Give it a thought, kid.)
 * At that, maybe I'll run through here and remove every entry that that has no explicit substantiation. Cool? Weeb Dingle (talk) 05:40, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

Okay, let's begin at the beginning, namely the very first entry, the pants-wetting apocryphal fanboy blurb about David Gilmour. Go read a somewhat decent article like "How to Date a Fender," wherein it is quickly established that I suspect that this page has multiple entries of similar quality.

 * due to numbering inconsistencies, it's possible there were (for example) FIVE "#300" Fender Music instruments produced 1950-1954
 * Fender Music re-started its serial-numbering system in 1954
 * previous to 1954, Fender stamped the serial number on the bridge. Starting that year, it was stamped on the neckplate. In both instances, the piece of hardware can be readily removed (by anyone with a common screwdriver) so it is in no way reliable proof of the instrument's provenance
 * as with many factories to today, Fender Music almost always left small hand-written notations on the neck heel and heel pocket, commonly dating the components
 * the Fender numbering systems have pretty much been employed across ALL Fender instruments, so there's no good reason to infer that #0001 would have been a Strat
 * seeing as Fender Music has always kept good production records, it's a glaring oversight that apparently NOBODY has simply asked FMIC to describe what instrument was assembled in 1954 numbered 0001

notability concerns
the news broke today that donal gallagher is proposing to sell his late brother's famously distressed stratocaster, & probably several other items of rory's equipment. this brought me here, to this article, & I've got to say that while rory's famous instrument is conspicious by its absence, there's a whole load of stuff on here that's of questionable notability, & that many entries are in any case unsubstantiated & lack background-reading via links to their makers or owners, current or otherwise. not quite a shambles, but well on its way.
