The scene at the end where he said he loves his job, was fantastic. This video was so well made, Fender should use this video in their marketing. Makes me want to start playing guitar.

Spender meets Fender. A match made in heaven ❤

The best description of the Fender Stratocaster that I’ve ever heard was from the late great Jeff Beck (RIP). Jeff was the subject of one of those TV specials “Jeff Beck Talks Music”. When the interviewer asked Jeff why the Strat was his “weapon of choice”, Jeff said that the guitar gave him “endless colour”. Jeff then gave a pretty comprehensive demonstration of all of the styles of guitar that he could wring out of the instrument. I then realised why Jeff was/is held in such high esteem by his peers and fans alike. Jeff Beck - Master of The Stratocaster, May You Rest In Peace sir.

Mary Spender’s voice is perfect for voice-over narration. I could listen to her all day long. Her music is pretty cool too.

This is not a vlog, it's a documentary!❤ skilfully recorded and edited. Your smooth and warm voice blends nicely with one your host has (loud and clear). Happy anniversary Fender!

I’m just a 20 minute drive from the Corona factory. I hope California was kind to you. Your videos are so next level compared to other YouTubers. Very accurate, informative, and arresting, meaning I couldn’t look away, and was frustrated every time YouTube interrupted you with a commercial. You do fantastic work Mary, and your passion shows through in your professionalism, understanding, and deep passion for all things musical. Thank you 🙏 😊

I find it really cool that my Corona made Stratocaster was made in that same factory , using the same machinery 25 years ago . Its the best guitar ive ever owned and it sounds incredible and plays like butter .

in all honesty, i would happily work the rest of my days on a guitar factory like this. Knowing i make a difference in ppls lives playing these fantastic instruments. As a former woodworker, i could almost smell the factory as i was watching. My god do i miss that.

As my baby ages, its origin story becomes increasingly mysterious to me. Built when I was three, we met when it was ten and I was thirteen and we are daily companions. Now sixty-six years old, my 1958 Stratocaster is a wonder, made of apparently perfect wood holding its shape to perfection throughout most of Fender’s history. It seems to get stronger.

Can’t believe some of those machines are from 1950!! And still in use. Great video. Fascinating. I’ll never look at my strats and teles the same way. Thanks so much.

Spent countless hours at Fender right down the street here in Corona. Met Eric Johnson there and many others. My tech and I love hanging there!

I did a tour of the Fender plant in Corona, CA 10 years ago with David Brown and it was just amazing. The plant is amazing-clean, well lit and massive. There is so much more to see than what is in this video. Everyone there was upbeat and pleasant-all lovers of things Fender. I did a tour of Gibson in Memphis, TN 2 weeks later and the old factory was dark and dirty. Very low tech. The tour leader obviously did not play guitar. People were depressed it seemed. Fender is ultra modern with CNC yet all goes to hands on building. Fender tour also included the Custom shop. On the tour they said you could put "dibs" on a guitar or bass if you wanted to take it home. A great experience.

1. Glad it wasn't a 1 hour + video. 2. Great video/editing. 3. My gawd, I could listen to your voice (singing & speaking), all day long!! Thank you for being you!

If Mary ever gets tired of being a musician, she could have a great career as a voice over artist and narrator. She really has the most posh accent and lovely voice

I love the Strat above and beyond ANY other guitar. It's perfect! The Tele is a close second.

Took a beautiful Brit to give us the best American guitar factory tour! Well done, Mary. 😍

Bravo to David Brown that showed around the facility. You can tell he really enjoys his job. How can you ask for any job that you love to do.

The magic is at the 17:30-ish mark when he starts talking about that guitar and how cool it is. You can just tell when a guitar is special and someone's love for guitars is infectious.

The cinematography was great on this one. You really did a great work!
