Apparently not content with what is already an extremely popular series of vintage reissue Strats (Mexis, Americans and the like,) Fender has continued to expand the line with new and unusual varieties of the instrument, including last year’s Hot Rod ‘57 & ‘62 models, the Mexican-made/Custom Shop designed Classic Players models, and of course a [...]
