shivers13 Joined: Jul 29, 2009 Posts: 2605 Boss Angeles, CA	Posted on Jun 11 2010 08:54 PM da-ron The Severson years were classics though. Full marks for getting Fender ads! Speaking of old riders, one of my favourites was/is Phil Edwards: "The beach? Man, the beach is just something I cross to get to the surf.." Just wondering: Are there any other guitar/amp/instrument manufacturers advertising in those issues? Phil Edwards was the first to conquer Pipeline. Big wave riders like Phil and Greg Noll surfed giant waves with no leash, in trunks (no wetsuit), no tow-in, no helicopter rescue, just pure bravery. Just paddling out was a life threatening act and a wipeout meant you might hit the jagged coral below. These guys were like astronauts going were no man had gone before. There are no other guitar ads in Surfer Mag other than Fender. Why would you need or want anything more for surf? — BOSS FINK "R.P.M." available now from DOUBLE CROWN RECORDS! www.facebook.com/BossFink www.doublecrownrecords.com Top

Norm, thought you might find this outtake from the photo shoot interesting. According to your magazine date, this took place earlier than the "late-1960s" caption here indicates. Very cool behind the scenes photo! The date on the caption is incorrect because the shot is obviously from the same photo shoot as the ad which is earlier. — BOSS FINK "R.P.M." available now from DOUBLE CROWN RECORDS! www.facebook.com/BossFink www.doublecrownrecords.com Top

Yeah, bummer. But you also see less newstands around too. For all the good it's done the internet has also destroyed a lot of great stuff, like a lot of printed publications. — BOSS FINK "R.P.M." available now from DOUBLE CROWN RECORDS! www.facebook.com/BossFink www.doublecrownrecords.com Top

Oh, and a nice Mustang too!! Wow, its July '65 and it looks like surf music was still in the game. How late will these ads run?

THE AVENGERS VI were another band that kept playing surf through '66. I just looked up the Billboard top 100 for 1966 and was very surprised to find WIPE OUT by THE SURFARIS at #63 for the year's top hits!!! Speaking of THE CHALLENGERS... here's an ad for booking the band from the SEPT 1964 issue of SURFER with cool Rick Griffin art. — BOSS FINK "R.P.M." available now from DOUBLE CROWN RECORDS! www.facebook.com/BossFink www.doublecrownrecords.com Top

Jetpack Joined: May 28, 2008 Posts: 333 Los Angeles	Posted on Jun 12 2010 05:01 PM Cringing at sticking guitars in the sand? I had to do just that with the cover to the album I use as my avatar here! It was the 90's before I had Photoshop. I did get a few surface scratches but they buffed out. BTW, if you don't live near a beach we on the coasts, left or right, can tell you sand really is billions of small bits of glass! The worst part is besides the pushed color no one guesses that that shot is real! UGH! Anyway, for a living I work at a high end L.A. graphics firm and if anyone wants to send an ad to me for a pro high end scan I will do it for free as long as we can all have access to it! I would love a hugh file of the girl and the Mustang ad! — www.jetpackband.com https://www.facebook.com/JetpackTheBand Top

She was discovered by Fender ad-man Bob Perine working in the lingerie department at Broadway Dept. Store. He liked her "exotic" look-he posed her as Hispanic, Tahitian, and Hawaiian in various ads. In the group ads, the kids were friends of Bob's 3 daughters from Laguna Beach High School so one or all of them may have appeared in a few ads. There is a comprehensive 2-page spread showing all of the "You won't part with yours either" ads in Richard Smith's "Fender, The Sound Heard 'Round The World". There's a new book out: "Fender, The Golden Age 1949-1970". It's quite good. Top

Yeah, definitely a cool concept for a surf guitar ad. I remember reading a short interview with the surfer about the photo session but unfortunately can't seem to remember any details. I first thought he had said that the guitar didn't have a single drop of water on it after the session but I don't find that very likely, haha. — T H E ✠ S U R F I T E S Top
