Fender To Produce American Vintage ’57 Commemorative Stratocaster

9. May 2007

Well, I have yet to see any kind of “official” word from Fender, but according to a rather unfinished looking product page on their website the company has a new guitar in the works–the American Vintage 1957 Commemorative Stratocaster. I think it’s safe to assume the guitar is meant to celebrate the 50-year Anniversary of [...]

The following is a guest-post by Matt of Guitar Stuff––if you like his stuff, consider subscribing! Am I the only guitar player who is a little anal-retentive about my guitars?

30. April 2007

1 Comment

Nice… when Gibson first released the Les Paul GT back in 2006 I was seriously impressed with the sheer number of upgrades the guitar shipped with, but also more than a little put off by the guitar’s less than subtle design (guitar + flames = cheesy IMHO.)
