The Story Behind the Print
Clarence L. Fender’s U.S. Patent 2573254, granted October 30, 1951, describes a compact bridge and electromagnetic pickup arrangement for an amplified stringed instrument, bringing string support and electrical response into one engineered assembly.
Plan, elevation, and sectional views reveal the saddles, pole pieces, coils, and mounting hardware in crisp mid-century drafting. This restored edition preserves the original patent arrangement in crisp black linework on cool, timeworn rag paper within the collection’s restrained black double rule.
Printed to order on 325gsm museum-grade archival matte paper with fade-resistant archival pigment inks. A natural piece for music rooms, recording studios, listening spaces, and guitar collections.
Colors may vary slightly between screens and the finished piece—the print will always be richer.
About the Frame
Framed pieces are built to order in solid wood with a 1.125 inch face, glazed in crystal-clear acrylic, and finished with a kraft paper dust cover and hanging wire. Your print is dry mounted so it stays perfectly flat for decades. Each framed piece arrives ready to hang.
The frame adds roughly 1.75 inches to each side of the print size you select. Framed orders are custom made and ship within 7 to 10 business days, free in the U.S. See our shipping and return policies for framed piece details.
