About This Project

Nel 1955 il modello Telecaster subì ulteriori piccole modifiche estetiche/strutturali che videro il battipenna diventare bianco mantenendo le stesse dimensioni e il pickup al ponte diventare “sfalsato” abbandonando il design “flatpole” utilizzato comunque fino all’esaurimento delle scorte precedenti.

La piccola corda “round-string-tree” più in basso sulla paletta da marzo 1955 fu gradualmente sostituita da quella “butterfly”, tuttavia senza distanziale in ottone, che prese il sopravvento dal 1959.

Per alcuni mesi la verniciatura subì una tonalità di colore biondo resa più chiara ai bordi, ma questo metodo di colorazione durò solo pochi mesi a causa del costo maggiore della lavorazione artigianale necessaria per ottenerlo.

La cassa in tolex tweed cambia da tasca centrale a tasca diagonale.

In questo anno di transizione, anche le precedenti sellette in ottone cambiarono in sellette in acciaio.

Dalla fine del 1954, il numero di serie iniziò lentamente a essere stampato sulla piastra dell’interruttore, abbandonando la base del ponte.

Il circuito elettronico subisce un’ulteriore innovazione nelle combinazioni resistore/condensatore, rimanendo “Blender” fino al 1967.

CONTENTS OF THE OUR VINTAGE SOUL 1-2-3 BOOKS

The OUR VINTAGE SOUL project is the printed result of many studies by Flavio aimed at the knowledge of the productive world created by Leo Fender and his historical collaborators since 1946 presenting in every photographic detail the whole Fender Vintage Collection, the most complete collection of a single owner in the world.

The first product Our Vintage Soul 1 was released in 2005 and contains the first part of the Fender Vintage Collection, limited edition and with progressive serial number, a unicum.

The new photographic work that lasted almost 7 months yielded over 12000 images which, added to the texts, add up to almost 900 pages thus forcing the work to be divided into two books, each containing over 60 tools and 2500 photographs; a work entirely realized, designed, conceived and self-produced, without publishers, in total autonomy within which there is no lack of details, curiosities and explanations acquired in over 35 years of vintage experiences.

Building on the experience gained in producing the first book, a second and a third volume has thus been expected dividing the more than 100 instruments of the collection into two historical periods: Volume 2 red pre-CBS (1946-1964) and Volume 3 blue post- CBS (1965-1974).

THE BOOKS OUR VINTAGE SOUL VOLUMI 2 AND 3 PRESENT WITH A PRECISE CHRONOLOGICAL SCHEME THE PHOTOGRAPHY OF THE TOTAL FENDER VINTAGE COLLECTION BY FLAVIO CAMORANI THAT INCLUDES ALL THE INSTRUMENTS IN STANDARD COLORING ‘SOLID BODY’ AND AT LEAST ONE MODERN EPITEMOD AND MODEL AT LEAST LISTED IN AN OFFICIAL CATALOG FROM THE FENDER FACTORY BETWEEN 1946 AND 1974.

In addition, an excursus to the ‘Fullerton Factory’ artisan construction period from 1982/1984 considered by the authors to be noteworthy despite the total quality decline that followed Leo Fender’s abandonment in December 1974.

Just like for the first volume, the two new books have been made with excellent quality coated paper, hardcover and handcrafted binding made of fabric to make the absolute relevance of their contents impressive.

The explanatory cards and identity cards of the over straps,100 instruments with their own original cases, amplifiers, catalogs, guitar cable jacks, electronic effects, tags and posters have been written in Italian but represent the minimum part of the contents of the publications that they also see photographed all the maniacally disassembled objects to allow access to the reader of all the technical details highlighted by the authors in the 864 illustrated pages.

The texts were entirely made by Flavio Camorani, the 7-month photo set was edited by Michela Taioli and Flavio Camorani (with the constant presence of the Rock 2 ′ family dog to support the work), the graphics were curated by Matteo Camorani, the layouts by Matteo and Flavio Camorani, the covers designed by Michela Taioli and made by Matteo Camorani, the printing and binding edited by Ge.Graf Forlì.

Flavio Camorani started the project and the drafts in September 2005, finishing in January 2020, then selecting the shots and following the whole layout.

Michela Taioli took 12,428 photographs of the entire collection between October 2018 and May 2019, supervising and commercial manager.

The final product was completed in March and published in April 2020 with the following technical characteristics to offer a high quality product:

-Each volume is composed of 432 pages of 135 gr coated paper.

-4 + 4 colors printing in paperback stitched in hardcover with square spine and capitals

-Rigid cover in matt coated hardcover laminated with protective varnish in size 21 x 29.7 cm
