Guitar style linked to players such as Keith Richards.
H.E.R.'s 2019 Grammy Awards performance was chock-full of soulful vocals, brilliant showmanship, and a slow-burning guitar solo played on an attention-grabbing see-through Custom Shop Strat. Now, thanks to the Fender Custom Shop Masterbuilt Scott Buehl Acrylic Stratocaster, you can play one of these rare solidbody electric guitars yourself. The clear Strat boasts a clear acrylic body, a comfortable one-piece quartersawn neck and fingerboard, and fourth-generation noiseless electronics. This Stratocaster delivers the good - this is a nice axe to bang out spanky R&B rhythms or to conjure up H.E.R.-style saturated leads with dexterous bends and articulate two-handed tapping. A vintage-style tremolo rounds out the Custom Shop Acrylic Strat’s generous features.
The Custom Shop Acrylic Strat is crafted one at a time by Fender Custom Shop master builder Scott Buehl. Aside from its eye-catching aesthetics, this solidbody electric guitar's acrylic body delivers a balanced tone with excellent frequency separation, which provides an interesting sonic foundation for its electronics. A clear pickguard completes the look of this stunning instrument.
The Custom Shop Acrylic Stratocaster is a treat to play, largely because of its vintage-style neck profile. This one-piece quartersawn neck is pleasantly stout, and its increased mass yields an incredibly natural feel, as well as excellent sustain. Experience its fast-playing 9.5-inch-radius fingerboard with jumbo frets - bending notes and playing chords high on the neck has never been easier.
