Stratocaster

❌SOLD❌ Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster Sunburst, 1999

Here we’re looking at an early American Deluxe Stratocaster, dating to 1999 with the ‘SSS’ three single-coil configuration – or so it seems. The Vintage Noiseless single coils are actually two stacked coils in the stock cover. This rosewood-fingerboard example is in very nice condition, and the most visible wear is that the ‘noiseless’ logos has worn off the pickup covers; this happens fairly quickly. It is equipped with locking tuners, which speed up string changes and can slightly improve tuning stability through fewer wraps on the post. At this time, the locking tuners did not have staggered posts.

❌SOLD❌ Fender Jeff Beck Stratocaster Olympic White, 2006

❌SOLD❌  Fender Jeff Beck Stratocaster Olympic White, 2006

The Fender Jeff Beck Stratocaster, here as an Olympic White 2006 custom shop build, recognizes Beck’s needs for sonic versatility and tuning stability. Unusually for top flight rock players, Jeff Beck plays fingerstyle, without picks, and his heavy use of the trem bridge is part of his unmistakable sound. In the mid 1960’s, Jeff Beck was one of three top English players closely associated with the Telecaster – Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page were the other two.

❌SOLD❌ Fender American Standard Strat Left Handed Metallic Red, 2007

❌SOLD❌ Fender American Standard Strat Left Handed Metallic Red, 2007

The Fender American Standard Left Handed was built from 1987 to 2017, offering a blend of vintage and modern ideas – bent steel saddles and a fingerboard extension with larger frets. In general, the guitar showed improved build quality and hardware. The next step up from this model added locking tuners, a great idea for most guitars, and modern Fender locking tuners would fit directly on this guitar (a left handed set of course).

❌SOLD❌  Fender 25th Anniversary Stratocaster Faded Silver, 1979

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.
