“Eldon Shamblin’s [1954 Stratocaster] is the first Aztec Gold Strat, so it’s earlier than this [1956] model. Aztec Gold is listed as a Ditzler 1953 colour, and non-specific regarding a car company. I’ve seen Oldsmobile, Buick and Cadillac listed, so it was mostly used for General Motors cars. I have a ’53 Telecaster in Aztec Gold, which is the earliest example I’ve seen in that colour. In fact, it’s the only Aztec Gold Tele I’ve seen.
“I have three Aztec Gold Stratocasters
