    "​The unusual Swinger, also known as the Musiclander or Arrow, was an entry-level student model that Fender made for Slingerland music stores in 1969. It was composed of repurposed parts from several Fender instruments, including cut-down bodies from the Bass V and hardware from the Musicmaster student models. Tina Weymouth of the Talking Heads purchased this guitar in 1978 from the shop Strings N Things, formerly located near CBGB on the Bowery in Manhattan. It was used in the 1984 concert film Stop Making Sense for “This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody).” ",
