To the best of my knowledge, models do not generally get photo rights. Last edited: Aug 26, 2013 19:37:52 |

Sounds like a good subject for a local news or TV reporter to cover. —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

HERE YA GO! Courtesy of Randy Nauert of The Challengers! Randy has an amazing Facebook page. It's worth signing up just to check out his pics alone! The man has an incredible wealth of knowledge! All hail Randy! Here's what Randy says... This is Jon Martin. On the left is the finished ad as it appeared in 1965 and as it appears at the new Fender Visitor's Center in Corona, next to the factory. On the right is on the shore. Notice Pacific Coast Highway and the lagoon. I spoke with Jon a few days ago. We'll be visiting in Newport when he returns from Idaho in a few months. The photo was taken at Doheny, in one ride. Jon knee paddled out with the new Fender "Jaguar" and caught a wave, stood up and swung it around for this photo. When he came ashore, they put the guitar back into its case and box and sold it. The shore shot has never been posted, printed or shared until right now. Its from the contact sheet of outtakes. I have more but hoped that this would put to rest any of the false claims and misinformation that abounds. There's a Beach Boys show at the Visitor Center now with a lot more photos that you've never seen before. http://www.fender.com/visitor-center/

Incredible find! Kudos to Norm and Randy. If the Fender museum is paying attention (or cares), they owe you a debt of gratitude too. |

Well, Randy did say he was going to be hangin' with him in a few months. Maybe he'll talk him into doing a re-shoot! Mega props to Randy for sharing this amazing stuff! —BOSS FINK "R.P.M." available now from DOUBLE CROWN RECORDS! |
