Forgotten designs

Everyone has heard of the Stratocaster, hands down there is no guitar that is more of an icon than Leo Fender's famous design. But that's not the only thing Fender became famous for, more savy guitar players and collectors fawn over amps such as the tweed covered Deluxe and the "blackface" 50 watt Bassman. But what about the designs that were forgotten? How many people remember models such as the "Fender Custom" from the late 60's or the "Fender Cornado" series of semi-hollow guitars? A reminder of such unique, inventive, strange or downright brainless design is what this blog shall highlight.
