Fender Reproduces The Ritchie Blackmore Stratocaster… Again?
So, anybody got the inside scoop on this? I apparently missed the memo. Off the top of my head I remember two other official Ritchie Blackmore Stratocasters coming out of Fender in the last decade or so… there was a 1997 MIJ Limited Edition version with set-neck construction, and a lower-cost MIJ production version with a [...]
