Sambora Strat® Revised for '99
 July 24, 1999
The Fender Richie Sambora Stratocaster(R) will have a
new look and feel to it when it is introduced at the Nashville NAMM show
in July. In keeping with its tradition of quality instruments and technological
innovations, Fender once again teamed up with Sambora to create a guitar
that is as equally unique as he is himself.
Throughout his career, Richie's distinct sound and style of playing has
no doubt inspired many of today's young musicians to pick up a guitar
in hope of emulating their hero. To acknowledge the contribution he has
made in shaping rock music, Fender has taken tins American made Strat
and has implemented upgrades that conform to Richie's exact specifications.
From the signature "Star" fingerboard inlays to the Fender "Hot
Noiseless" pickups, this reworked guitar is once again, all Sambora.
Other features include: an alder body, special shape maple neck, 9.5"
radius, 21 vintage frets, 3 Fender "Hot Noiseless" pickups,
12db active mid-boost, aged white/black/white pickguard, aged white plastic
parts, original synchronized tremolo, Fender 25OR strings, Fender tweed
case, strap and a cable.
