Fender Custom Shop Strat Ritchie Blackmore Tribute Stratocaster Guitar

This is a Fender Custom Shop Strat Ritchie Blackmore Tribute Stratocaster Guitar.  This guitar has been long awaited. With Deep Purple's song "Smoke On The Water" Ritchie Blackmore bestowed on us all the most well known rock guitar riff of all time.  For over 40 years now Blackmore's has served as the quintessential heavy rock guitar guitar god and has one of the biggest influences for burgeoning rock & metal guitarists everywhere. Ritchie Blackmore has earned his place at the table of Rock Guitar Gods.  And now Fender pays tribute to Ritchie Blackmore with his Fender Custom Shop Tribute Stratocaster.
 
The Ritchie Blackmore Tribute Stratocaster takes you back in time and back to the shores of Switzerland's Lake Geneva, where the smoke from the burning Montreux Casino drifted over the waters on Dec. 4, 1971, as the building was destroyed. That night, the members of Deep Purple watched the "fire in the sky" from their hotel and drew inspiration for a timeless rock classic. Blackmore played the song's powerful double-stop riff on a black 1968 Stratocaster, not knowing at the time that he was creating an archetypal guitar figure that would be eagerly imitated by legions of guitarists. This is guitar is painstaking accurate recreation of Ritchie Blackmore's iconic Stratocaster. 

Highlights

The Fender Custom Shop Ritchie Blackmore Tribute Stratocaster has a two-piece alder body with a lightly worn Black urethane finish, a "U"-shaped maple neck, 7.25"-radius maple fingerboard with medium jumbo frets, and custom '68 Stratocaster pickups hand-wound by Fender legend Abigail Ybarra. Other distinctive features include three-way pickup switching, Schaller® tuners, four-bolt neck plate stamped with the serial number and the stylized Fender "F," and a vintage-style synchronized tremolo equipped with Blackmore's distinctive custom ¼" trem arm.
 
Each instrument also includes an exclusive tribute decal on the back of the headstock, certificate of authenticity and orange-lined black textured vinyl case with the "Fender amp" logo.
