Sep 3, 2007 · By Sweetwater on Sep 3, 2007, 12:00 AM. This is an affectionate reference to the earliest Fender logos, which had thin, rather stringy letters that many joked looked like spaghetti. These were used on Fenders built during the 1950s and into the 1960s.
The Tele Custom and Esquire used the "spaghetti" logo from mid-1959 to late 1960's (stock not depleted till later). Stratocaster: thin "spaghetti" logo from 1954 to fall 1964. Larger gold "transition" logo from fall 1964 till 1967.
