Seems like it's made of plastic but is bumpy like tweed. Looks like some kind of one-off American Deluxe, but I think in they had pop in trems. This is screw in. Messages 11, No, unless your strat is square with a red x on it.
Messages It looks like a 62 reissue with a painted headstock The big oddity is the skunk stripe down the back of the neck I thought these were done away with by the sixties when the truss rods were inserted under the rosewood slab.
It's not an American Deluxe Anyone else want to venture a guess?? GregoryL Member. Messages 1, Check the serial number It looks like the 'thinskin' special editions of the American '62 reissue some dealers have carried over the last couple of years with the matching headstock.
Some have other special features - the standard 62 reissue would have a 7. Some of the special editions have a flatter 9. Some also have a thinner nitro finish. Hope this helps. GregoryL said:. Messages 5, I've seen another unit like this. The colour and all the details are the same as this guitar. You're right, it's different, but check the serial number Here's one on ebay that I think clears it up. You gave me enough to track it down.
I'm confident it's not a Custom Shop guitar, it would have the badge on on the back of the headstock. Messages 14, No that's not a custom shop. The s would prove to be a transformative decade for Fender and by the dawn of the s, if any one instrument embodied Fender itself, it was the Stratocaster.
The instrument was everywhere. Everybody played one, or had played one at some point. It had become an archetypal form by then; a silhouette that leapt to mind immediately on the mention of the term electric guitar.
In the time-honored Fender instrument lineup, the Stratocaster had become the Fender instrument as ticked over to On the eve of the year , the future of the Stratocaster looked brighter than ever. The instrument spanned decades and genres as an uncannily versatile and relevant electric guitar; chosen time and again by successive generations of new players. It remained the choice of seasoned professionals and eager newcomers alike, its sleek form and pure sound continually attractive to players everywhere at all levels.
All the while, as always, the Stratocaster continued to find its way into new hands. Bands that had either formed in the s or came to prominence post continued to embrace the instrument. Strokes , among many others. A decade later, when Jimi Hendrix so memorably played one at the Monterey Pop Festival in , it still looked like the future—even more so, perhaps.
A decade after that, when rock was busy tearing itself down and reinventing itself in particularly aggressive fashion in , the Strat was right there in the midst of it. Ten years later, in , when Fender itself was coming through a bold self-reinvention, the newly revitalized Stratocaster stood at the top of the line, still very much the future.
People everywhere certainly do love their Stratocasters. The instrument wears its plus years well. It still sounds fantastic. It still feels phenomenal. And it still looks like the future. Modern Stratocaster bodies are still made of the same woods the originals were made from over 60 years ago: alder and ash.
Most contemporary Strats are alder, while the Strats featured in the Deluxe range feature ash bodies. The alder used in most Fender guitars boasts many sonic advantages. It imparts excellent sustain and sharp attack. Ash can be difficult to work with.
The pores must be filled before finishes are applied, and two swamp ash guitar bodies are more likely to differ from one another tonally than two bodies made of alder, which has a tighter, more consistent grain.
Ash imparts articulation and presence with a great balance between brightness and warmth, and it looks great. This is one place where each of the seven Strat models compared here differ from one another, though most are Fender offers guitars with a handful of different neck profiles, but the guitars included here feature variations on the classic "C"-shaped neck, which has a more rounded profile than the pointed "V" or flatter "U" style.
