The Custom Shop Dick Dale signature Strat looks and sounds like no other Strat, which is appropriate for the player who sounds like no other; the king of surf-rock Dick Dale. With it's eye-catching chartreuse sparkle finish, reverse-style Strat headstock, and lightly figured maple neck, the looks are all up to par on this one. The tone sounds like 50's single coil heaven. Thanks to the reversed bridge pickup, and special toggle switch bypassing the switch to combine the neck and bridge pickups, the guitar can do some awesome surf-guitar tones when you add a reverb in there.
To celebrate 35 years of proving the low-end for the rhythm section of one of the worlds most successful rock bands, U2, the Fender Custom Shop has released this extremely limited Adam Clayton P-Bass. Only 60 pieces have been built, and they're loaded with features to make this one of a kind instrument not only a looker, but a player as well. With its eye-catching gold sparkle finish and matching headstock, and abalone block inlays, loaded with an Abigal Ybarra handwound P-Bass pickup as well as a Certificate of Authenticity signed by Clayton himself, this is a must for any serious P-Bass or U2 collector.
