Well Fender has unveiled their next "tribute" guitar

[Blazer]

After Stevie Ray Vaughan's Nr1, Clapton's "Blackie", Andy Summers' tele, Eddie Van Halen's "Frankenstein" and Rory Gallagher's strat, people thought that the most famous Fenders were all been taken care off.

Apparently not though...
See their next tribute guitar here.

Does the EVH Frankenstein ring a bell?

Oh boy...... like Paul Reed Smith said: "Dead musicians are helping Fender sell guitars, how can you compete with that?"

The response from a smart ass in the crowd? "Shoot Carlos".

That simply ruled.

To be honest, I don't find anything special about that. A Jimi Hendrix Strat or Keith Richards Tele would of been cooler tbh.

They already did those.

I'm sure it will be MUCHO dinero but the guitar itself kills...

I thought it was silly too, until I saw the Robin Trower strat. It wasn't so much the fact that it was associated with him as it was just the overally look and spec of the guitar. It was everything I could ever want in a strat. Since I got it, i don't play my american deluxe anymore. Of course it isn't one of those "reliced" perfect replicas either.

You didn't list them, so I wasn't sure Still, they could do a Gilmour strat or something.

They have been working out the details on the Gilmour strat for awhile now. I don't know when that one will ever hit, but it would be a huge money maker for Fedner for sure.

Two words come to mind. Marketing desperation!
