"The historic theme of the Fender Visitor Center continues with the Birthplace of Innovation wall, which displays photos of the early factory as well as informational tidbits. We particularly loved the lower-left photo of an employee demonstrating the strength of Fender necks by standing on one balanced between two chairs. The opposite corner of the facility has a small theater that runs a loop of four films that provide a closer look into the company's early days and influence."
