Fender Special Edition Lonestar Strat RW Ghost Silver

Allmänt

Fender SPC ED LONSTR STRAT RW GST SLV

The name of this Fender guitar refers to the Lone Star state: Texas, America's largest state. It's aptly named too, as it features two high-output Texas Special single-coil pickups for Fender's largest single-coil sound. What's more, the Texas Specials are perfectly matched by a Fender Twin Head humbucker in the bridge position. Further still, the striking Ghost Silver finish is befitting of a guitar with such imposing specifications

Construction

With an alder body and a bolt-on maple neck, this Lone Star Strat follows a tried and tested recipe for creating a good Stratocaster. Its 22-fret rosewood fretboard makes that its overall sound is slightly warmer than that of versions with a maple fingerboard. The vibrato unit is a 6-saddle synchronised tremolo with six screws. The overall construction of this guitar is standard - excellent - Stratocaster quality, but it's the pickups that make it truly exceptional. The Texas Specials are powerful, fierce and very versatile thanks to the clever S1 switch.

Texas Specials, Twin Head and S1

The two Texas Special single-coil pickups produce a high output, striking mids, tight bass and crystal-clear trebles. They are the perfect set for Texas blues along the lines of Stevie Ray Vaughan for instance. In the bridge position, there's a Fender-designed Twin Head humbucker with an exceptionally high output that can handle anything from classic rock to extreme metal. Additionally, the S-1 allows you to switch the inner coil of the Twin Head off, in order to use this guitar as a classic Stratocaster with an SSS pickup configuration.
