A cursive L? Don't recall that one either. Thanks for these pics, it's really cool.

I was looking at Tele pickups on teh interwebz and came across this gem:
It's a '65 Tele bridge pickup signed by the illustrious Mell.
OK, it's not an offset... but still pretty cool.

"Mary" as in Mary Lemus, a Fender factory employee (Mary began work at Fender in 1954 as an assembler, eventually becoming a final assembly supervisor). Also seen very often is "Gloria" as in Gloria Fuentes, another Fender factory employee assembler.

Re: Under the Hood of Pre-CBS Offsets... (Vintage Markings)
And it gets even cooler ----> BINGO!!!! This pic must be from the late 70's. From the left: Gloria Fuentes, Mary Lemus, Alice Remigio (?), Louis Lugar. Lillian Laimes (?) and Bill Carson (?). Can someone with basic photoshop skills please try to make the names more readable (not sure I got the last 3 names right) by adjusting the contrast?
Gloria is quite a personality I love Mary's beehive And ...no Mell... Mell remains to be a mystery
