Como 3 años después...
Estaba tomando un delicioso caldo de res cuando de pronto lo recordé:
Me falta un post sobre las SQUIER CALIFORNIA SERIES!
Me apresure a tomar el caldo (como si eso fuera a compensar 3 años de espera) y busqué entre mis correos...
Ahí estaba la contestación de nuestro nuevo mejor amigo

el tipo más cool de la Fender que se tomó el tiempo y la molestia de contestar el correo que le escribí el otro día... hace algo de tiempo... en una galaxia muy lejana...
Le vamos a hacer justicia a Michael en un solo párrafo porque es lo justo:
LAS SQUIER CALIFORNIA SERIES SÍ SON ORIGINALES
Pero dejemos que Michael lo diga en persona
o en carta, que reproduzco íntegra* y completa**:
