Fender Stratocaster
The Fender Stratocaster, more commonly referred to as the Strat is one of the most famous guitars. It has been played by many different musicians across the world who have had the wonderful opportunity to spread the good news of these high quality guitars. There have actually been several variations upon the original Fender Stratocaster. The original guitar was a two color sun burst finish that made it really shocking to look at. The body was made out of solid ash, something that did not last in their guitars. Fender eventually started to make their guitars out of solid alder wood that they would prove to stick with for some years to come.
While many of the newer Fender models may have improved on the sound quality and musical ability that the guitar can handle, the vintage Fender Stratocaster guitars still fetch a pretty penny. One of the many nice features that they had was that they could be made with a custom color of paint. This was an extra fee, but allowed for even more personalization of the guitar.
There were many famous musicians who used a Fender Stratocaster, one of the most famous was Buddy Holly. He used them almost exclusively, George Harrison and Paul McCartney from the Beatles also used Fender Stratocaster guitars, but after CBS had taken over the company. This made a significant difference in the design of the guitar, as rosewood fretboards were no longer the main idea. Instead, less durable and more affordable materials were used to cut corners and save money.
