FENDER SAYS
In 1946, the same year Fender began building musical instruments Alex Xydias, using $100 a month borrowed from his mother, opened the SO-CAL Speed Shop. "I really struggled to keep it going," says Alex. "Sometimes I made less than $100 a month, but the hard work paid off and within a year, I was able to move to a bigger building on Victory Boulevard in Burbank - a prophetic address for what was to transpire."
Even then, Alex was a savvy marketer, and the hot rods that bore the distinctive SO-CAL red and white racing livery and the SO-CAL logo, were the first to go 160, 170, 180 and 190 mph. In 1951, the SO-CAL Streamliner set an American land speed record at 210 mph!
Inspired by the Fender Custom Shop's Master-built one-off, the SO-CAL Speed Shop guitar is the ultimate hot rod guitar. Featuring a basswood body and maple neck with a custom red, white and black SO-CAL Speed Shop paint job. One hot Alnico humbucking pickup, single volume control, hard-tail bridge and super fast neck make this guitar a screamer!
