Fender Strat

Hi. Here is my Ritchie Blackmore Signiture Strat. You'll notice several modafications right away. First; the Floyd Rose Tremolo unit with locking nut. Second; the black pickguard. Third; the center pickup, it's the same as the bridge pickup, Because these guitars come with no center pickup I had it installed. These are all modifications I felt would make this a better looking and better playing guitar. I'm sure somebody out there feels the same way. I bought the guitar in February of 2010 and rarely used it. I was in a Deep Purple Tribute band at the time and this guitar really sounds great. Modification parts and labor are approximately $550.00 - Guitar new $1,199.00 making the total cost of the guitar new $1,749.00.  At $1,000 it's a great deal for the right person. Includes original bridge and pickguard as well as a gig bag guitar case. I'm always reluctant to say "Like New!" but it's in really good shape and a lot of fun to play. Here are some of the factory specs.;
