Fender 25th Anniversary Stratocaster Faded Silver, 1979

On August 2, 2018 /

For 1979, the 25th Anniversary of the Fender Stratocaster’s 1954 introduction, Fender naturally wanted to release a commemorative model. It was first available in white, then the silver associated with 25th anniversaries, and finally also in a translucent red. Many of the silver finishes have yellowed to a gold colour, as can be seen here.

❌ SOLD ❌ Suhr Modern Pro Solidbody Electric Black Cherry Metallic, 2011

On August 1, 2018 /

The Suhr Modern features an alder body, maple neck with 24-fret rosewood fingerboard, modern elliptical profile and larger Stainless Steel frets, Sperzel locking tuners, and a Gotoh 510 2-post trem bridge. For electronics, it has custom JS (for John Suhr) pickups and an HSH configuration. The controls are simple, a 5-way selector switch and master volume and tone, but the tone control uses a push-pull pot to allow splitting the neck pickup.

❌ SOLD ❌ Fender Eric Clapton Stratocaster ‘Blackie’, 2017

On July 30, 2018 /

The Fender Eric Clapton Stratocaster is based on ‘Blackie’, the 1950s Stratocaster used by Clapton for a lot of his post-Cream work. That particular guitar is put together from a 1956 body and 1957 neck, with some 50’s pickups and one 1970’s. The Blackie version body is Alder with a gloss black urethane finish, and the neck is a quite comfortable 1957 style soft V shape. The frets are thankfully a somewhat taller Vintage style. For electronics, a set of Vintage Noiseless single coil strat pickups is used.

Fender Stratocaster Natural Finish, 1972

On July 23, 2018 /

For most of the time since its 1954 introduction, the Fender Stratocaster has been very popular and has been available in a myriad of colours, though natural has not always been one of them. The first versions were often sunburst or translucent white, but automotive based colour schemes followed quickly.
