In 1957, Fender Guitar Factory plant manager, Forrest White showed up to work with his brand new 8mm camera and captured the everyday life of the iconic company. Starting with the girls at the front desk, White filmed everything from Leo Fender's personal office to the woodworkers, loading docks, and more.
Several edited versions of this video have surfaced, but we've discovered the full presentation, narrated by Richard Smith, curator of the Fullerton Museum in Fullerton, CA.
The videos are presented in two parts.
