I was lucky enough to see Terry play this guitar many times from the first couple of rows. The ultimate feather in Fender's cap.

Finally this incredible talent gets the recognition he has deserved for 44 years - he had it all - unbelievable rythem player, soloist, singer - and gone way too soon. he let us look deep into his soul with every note that came out of him. So there must be something between heaven and earth if we are still talking about him here after 44 years and keeping his memories alive. matter passes but love remains and energy remains - and this man was pure energy and passion. RIP Big T your the Man

What they mean is we've always talked about it but no one knew where the guitars was. Its rad Terry is finally being recognized for the legend he is. He was not talked about and underrated for to many years while lesser players by magnitudes were talked up like they were gods. When Hendrix calls you the "best guitarist in the universe" thats saying something.

What an amazing film for Terry Kath and Chicago fans. He would have been so proud of you. Thank you Fender for recognizing Terry as well. To be gone for 44 years and have a custom shop guitar built in your name is an incredible recognition. This guitar will be sold out in record time I'm sure!

Certainly nice to see that above all else Terry is being recognized here for the true icon that he was and still is! Thanks to his daughter for her persistence and drive. From the documentary and now this project, you can see she is a leader, just the same as her Father. I hope Fender built this with their ears as much as their hands, the original has very unique sound combinations that are not going to be duplicated with any old pickups or standard wiring. Can't wait to see more sound demo's to see how it compares.

It’s awesome that she found this guitar. Upon finding it she also found a 54 strat #0003 that is white with a gold anodized guard. I’m curious to know if it is related to the David Gilmour #0001 strat since they were both white/gold guard and two digits apart. I know that Fender serials were not used in order of production but maybe they sought out the first few numbers and built them for namm or a trade show? Then again #0002 is a sunburst so I’m probably really reaching here.

Terry Kath was truly the BEST guitar 🎸 player that most younger generations don't know. Terry's daughter Michelle has such striking resemblance to her dad, albeit, she's feminine gooorgeous!

Fender consistently amazes me with these types of guitars. And what do they top out at? 5,000? A fancy Gibson is 2,500, and it doesn’t have half the story these Fenders do. The attention to detail is simply astounding! I am not a rich man, so I will probably never be able to purchase a guitar like this. But they are a thing of beauty.

Does anyone know what guitar he used for Jenny, I think Chicago VI. The opening is fantastic. Peace y’all.
