Fender
Tex-Mex Strat
July
12, 1996
Fender Musical Instruments has cooked up a new version of their best-selling Stratocaster
model electric guitars. The Deluxe Strat, a traditional design equipped with
Fender's latest pickups, the Tex-Mex Trio, also uses electronics from U.S. Vintage
Series Fender guitars. Fender electric guitar Marketing Manager, Mike Lewis, said
the pickups (and the guitar) will be made in the company's state-of-the-art factory
in Baja California, Mexico and are based on Fender's legendary Texas Specials.
"They're overwound for a hot sound and also have an extra high end bite that matches
up with this guitar perfectly. We think players will love the sound of this guitar."
Wearing medium-jumbo frets on a one piece, satin-finished maple neck (rosewood
fingerboard available) and Vintage hardware, the Deluxe Strat is available in
Candy Apple Red, Sonic Blue, Vintage White, Brown Sunburst, or Black. U.S. suggested
retail price including deluxe gig bag is $599.99. For more information, visit their web site at www.fender.com. |
