Fender Stratocaster Ritchie Blackmore Signature edition – Pre Owned

Description

A very clean example of a Ritchie Blackmore signature Fender Stratocaster. This one is from 2011 and is a Mexican edition. An interesting strat with quite a unique spec, vintage style frets, a scalloped rosewood board and only two pickups. The plays extremely nicely, the neck shape is a very very comfortable U based on the early 70s Strats. Ritchie Blackmore needs no introduction, neither does his music. This strat is a pure rock machine and sounds very beefy, courtesy of the pickups. This used example is in very clean condition, back plate is missing but aside from that it’s complete. It’s had a full set up and fret dress and is ready to go, in fact it probably plays nicer now than it did when new. Today these sell for between £1100 and £1250 new and they are easily worth it.
