The Alabama Inventors Database includes inventors who lived in Alabama at the time they received their patents from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The Government Documents Department of the Birmingham Public Library compiles these records and updates the database on an ongoing basis.
The Fender Custom Shop produces special-order guitars for customers through a Custom Shop dealer network, creates limited edition guitars, builds limited edition amplifiers, and does some research & design for the parent company.
If the guitar was brand new and recently built then you can look up the specs on Fender's website to get the details from the model # for what they ship with that one. Fender customer service has an email address you can send your serial number and they will give you a build spec list of what it had when it left the factory.
