Here  a 1988 Fender Stratocaster Deluxe in Pewter Grey metallic. This is a rare Fender Strat with Lace Sensors pick ups for reduced hum and guitar feedback. Later variants were called Strat Plus (Lace Sensors are single-coil pickups; that are different from classic single coils. The main difference is that, like the pickups used on the old Fender Jags, the coil is surrounded by metal barriers which are designed to reduce electro-magnetic interference such as power line hum by way of shielding the coils). This is a versatile instrument and one of the best Strats kicking around. Very responsive guitar and easy to play. Lovely metallic aged coloured finish. Good condition, vintage yellowed scratch plate giving it an old style Strat feel. The guitar lives in  Fender hard-case.

Here a 1970 Fender Stratocaster electric guitar in a cream white finish. The finish has aged in parts and the result is a worn, checked and stunning finish. The guitar has been a 1 owner guitar who purchased it in 1971 and used it ever since. The Strat plays very well, all the hardware operates as it should, the electrics work flawlessly. The guitar has the typical play wear like buckle rash and bare patches and shows some cool patina. This being a 1970 model may invoke associations with the white Hendrix Strat, albeit this has a rosewood fingerboard. It is a nice Strat nonetheless. Great looker and a killer player, as you would expect from a classic fender guitar. The wood on the neck has also beautifully aged to a rich colour resulting in a satin finish. So, here we have a very playable and functional guitar with ounces of mojo and a great vintage feel to it.

Here a cool Fender Stratocaster Custom Shop model in a red finish built by Fender Master Luthier Dennis Galuszka. One of my better guitars, completely unmolested and all original, although some of the fender decal transfer has come off. The DG autograph is visible on the rear of the headstock. The guitar features an ash body and a standard maple fretboard and simple classic Strat look.  It’s a light and responsive guitar and easy to play. Very good condition, no obvious marks or dents. Lives in its Fender case.

In 1979, Fender celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Stratocaster (introduced in 1954) with its first “anniversary” instrument, and the first Fender Guitar to be issued in a pre-determined and numbered, limited quantity. A small run of 500 or so instruments produced were finished in Pearl White. However, due to the instability and excessive checking of the finish, many were recalled and re-finished in Porsche Silver (though Fender refers to it as “25th Anniversary Stratocaster Silver”), the colour that was used in the rest of the production run. However, despite the recall some white issues survived, here we have one of these rare pearlesque models in a relatively good condition.

Here a smooth looking Fender Stratocaster Mary Kaye model made in USA 2019, in a cream white finish with factory fitted gold hardware. One of my finer fender signature model guitars, unmolested and pretty much unplayed. The Mary Kaye USA standard Strat. Standard maple fretboard and ash body comprising the simple but classic 1950s Strat look.  It’s a responsive guitar and easy to play. Lives in its Fender tweed case.

Mary Kaye was in the day known as the “First Lady of Rock and Roll” for her guitar-based, calypso mixed, swing music. Furthermore Mary Kaye was a musical innovator who helped pioneer Vegas originated lounge music. Although, one of the most surprising aspects of the story of the “Mary Kaye” Strat, is that Kaye never really owned, and rarely played, the guitar that informally bears her name as pictured on a promotional photo of the Mary Kaye trio from 1957

Here a great looking Fender Stratocaster Eric Clapton model made in USA 2018, in a red finish with factory fitted noiseless pick ups. One of my latest fender guitars, unmolested and pretty much unplaced.

Standard maple fretboard and alder body comprising the simple but classic Strat look.  It’s a light and responsive guitar and easy to play. Lives in its Fender tweed case.
