Batfink ha dicho: mayo 2016

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

Michael Roberts
Consumer Relations Representative
Fender Musical Instruments Corp.

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**:
