    Fender 2014 Proto Precision

    I just noticed that on the back of the headstock on my 2014 Proto Precision it says "PROTO 1214" next to the Fender Custom shop logo. I called Fender Customer Service and asked what that means. They said they did not know. I know that it's not the build date (12/14) because it was made in June...

    SparkFun Proto Pedal: DIY made even easier?

    A friend sent me a link to this awhile back: SparkFun Proto Pedal - PRT-13124 - SparkFun Electronics For the not-too-technically inclined, perhaps a way to toe-dip into the DIY effects world? A nice tabula rasa for making offbeat/unique pedals? Or is it just clever marketing? Curious what you think.
