Early Leo Fender Lap Steel
One of the highlights of the Leo Fender tribute display is this lap steel, among the first instruments Leo Fender ever built. He baked it in an oven and it is still playable to this day.

I don't recommend trying to take the factory tour. They may just decide to not give tours that day. I lost a days pay, and went through a lot of trouble and planning to get there. Upon arrival I found that they weren't giving public tours that day. I emailed Fender's visitor center info on a Monday regarding taking the tour that Friday, and never received a reply. I checked the visitor center website the day before, and there was no indication that there would be no public tours that day. Fender lost a customer. I was planning my big mid-life crisis b-day self gift, and made financial arrangements for it. They're not getting a dime from me now.
