As to Fenders "lack of presence" at Arlington....wasn't the show knee deep in old Strats and Teles?
And Gibsons by the gross, I mean hundreds if not thousands of Gibsons. Gibsons everywhere.

I believe the plant itself was a step up. That doesn't mean that Fender took advantage of it and produced better guitars. But the physical plant in Corona was better than what they had in Westerly.
