'60s Fenders covered with "fuzzy"

[Boburst]

Anybody else seen any guitars from the '60's covered with the "velvety", "plush" stuff? It's the same thing that FOXX used on some pedals. I've seen 3, 1 of which I still have ('68-ish Jazzmaster<not sure, it's in storage> Navy blue body,red guard). I have reason to believe this was done at Fender. The Jazzmaster was acquired fron a guy who's pals worked at Fender, and they did some DOCUMENTED work for him on a couple instruments I bought from him. The above mentioned guitar was a gift to him from one of his Fender buddies. The other 2 - an Orange covered Jag, and a Red covered Mustang, I saw 20 and 14 years ago respectively. No, I don't know where they are now. If I did, I'd have them. If you too, have ever seen one, let me know. I WILL be digging the JMstr out soon, and would be glad to post or e-mail pics.

Never heard of it, but it sounds mighty intriguing! I could only imagine it would have "wear issues" over time though.
