So, we get a stock '68 reissue, add a decal and a thick trem arm, and charge you 8 grand... :think:

[markD]

well, aside from the scalloping, isn't that pretty much what blackmore played? technically they could take away the decal and just charge you 8 grand for the thicker trem arm!!!

Big ugly headstock too.

This thing is a very expensive piece of wall art and that is all. It will not stay in tune worth a shit. Fail

[surfreak]

It did for Ritchie...

[Hellbat]

Don't forget the pickups contain unicorn dust mixed in by none other than Abigail Ybarra!

8 G's? REALLY? WTF is Fender thinking? Or maybe there not, and that's the point.....The worst part is you KNOW there's some shmuck out there dying to get his hands on it....

And to think most everybody could do this in a few hours, some basic knowledge of tools, and patience, and for waaaaaaay less money. just go get a black Squier Strat...XD

I love my fenders, but yeah, the price is ridiculous.

fender y u do dis?

[shredmonster]

In this kind of economic environment ? These people are really this out of touch ?

I don't want to offend any hardcore Fender lovers, but this looks just like any other guitar Fender made in the last 50 years. What's the difference between this and a $1000 Fender Strat? :think:

The trem arm, old-school bridge and a "special" logo on the back, that's about all IMO.

Fender isn't the only one. Every manufacturer does this.

Amps, guitars, everything.

The saying is.. there is an ass for every seat.

Fender isn't the only one. Every manufacturer does this.

Yeah, EVH Art Series anyone?

Blackmore is a douchebag anyway...talented but overrated. LOL @ $8k for any guitar.
