BrunoBass Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 Those of you that use Facebook could do worse than to check out the CLF Research account: https://www.facebook.com/clfresearch/ A regular feed of photos and information about Leo’s post Fender work. Prototypes, mules, contemporary brochures, adverts etc. Today they’ve put up a MM price list from 1976. £365 for a Stingray? Yes please! Quote
drTStingray Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 (edited) Interesting stuff - my Stingray was £350 new in 1980 - without hard shell case or gig bag!! The arrangement from 1976 until 1979/80 was that CLF produced the instruments under contract to Musicman - part of the cause of the breakdown of relationships between them was the failure of manufactured instruments to pass Musicman's quality requirements. There's a guy who has the production records up to 1979 or so - a number of instruments were factory refinished owing to the quality issue. Edited May 17, 2018 by drTStingray 1 Quote
