FENDER SAID
The Fender Custom Shop has a long history of collaborating with car manufacturers, including Ford, Jaguar and Shelby. The newest partnership is with Saleen Automotive, which is a perfect fil since it’s right up the road from the Fender Custom Shop in Corona, California.
Acclaimed for building high-performance guitars even before his arrival at Fender, master builder Ron Thorn has always loved fast cars. Struck by the similarities in sleek design and high-performance between the Fender Stratocaster guitar and the Saleen I super sports car, Thorn conceived of a one-of-a-kind Stratocaster combining elements of both. The result is the Stratocaster 1.
This supercharged guitar is finished in striking Saleen Candy Apple Red. Its hand-laid carbon-fiber body is hollow for super-light weight, with a roasted alder center block and a hand-carved maple top. Its quartersawn roasted maple neck has a 12”-radius carbon fiber round-lam fingerboard with medium jumbo frets, topped by a matching carbon fiber headstock overlay. In a special Saleen design touch, the high-output TV Jones Power 'Tron Plus bridge pickup sits beneath a tinted “rear window,” and the new custom “6-Stack” bridge and hand-made Strat 1 tailpiece are brand-new Fender innovations that give the guitar an even more sleek custom look and tone.
Further, a custom Strat 1 pedalboard enhances the player’s “driving” experience with custom volume, tone and wah-wah controls.
Happy motoring.
