The fender stratocaster is a thing of legend. It was a white fender strat that Hendrix abused at Woodstock. A sunburst fender strat that Stevie Ray Vaughan choped his way through pride and joy and a strat was also the weapon of choice for Eric Clapton.
Why has this guitar become so iconic?
The fender stratocaster at its time was a revolution to play. First built in the late fifties the pre CBS models now fetch in excess of £20,000.00 These rare instruments are the pinacle of perfection even by todays standards.
This latest addition to the Fender stratocaster family is built around the same blueprints. The Tone is classic strat thaks to three high quality single coil pickups. The Fender stratocaster stays in tune so well thanks to its suspended bridge which uses springs to counter balance the tension from the strings. This also allows for a variety of whammy bar antics. Available in a range of colours and with rosewood or maple necks the Fender Stratocaster is a guitar that will be around forever. These guitars do not lose much value either if you ever wanted to sell it on. A quality guitar that is a great step up from the cheaper budget options. The next time you watch a concert or band on TV keep your eye out and it wont take you long before a professional guitar player pulls out a trusty fender stratocaster.
