The machine heads are Kluson style and good quality ones at that, the bridge is the vintage type with bent steel saddles, the block is full thickness along with 5 springs and a little slab of wood to lock it down just like Eric did! Now, the pickups which are Fender Lace Sensors are the least vintage thing here along with the TBX tone control which boosts treble in the neck positions giving a kind of clarity a normal strat can only dream of here. The neck is chunky and I love chunky necks especially this one. So, I'm sure I'm going to have a nice relationship with this fine Stratocaster and a change from maple to rosewood can old give you variety and variety is the spice of life!ДЄlder body, maple neck with 22 frets and soft V with medium frets or less I'd say. Just a few small scratches on the back but you don't see them do you. It was pretty grimy but had no major dings or cracks at all. It has the 60th badge on the back of the headstock and it's the revamped Mexican Standard with the hotter ceramics and med jumbo frets from 2006. I don't want to be a guitar neck snob and if it sounds good it must be good.

I did think about the fingerboard, but I must admit but this was a good price and I'm pretty glad I pulled the trigger as it's a fine guitar the the board is great. I had my eye on a MIM with this colour so when one did pop up I had to pounce. Now I love the colour 'Electron Blue' or is it 'Cobalt Blue', I'm not sure what it's called, but it's dark with a metallic flake in it. The fact is I'm not really into rosewood fingerboards at the moment but I have to admit in a blindfold test it is probably very hard to tell the difference.

This one is a bit of a strange one for me to say the least. The Cabronita is a hidden gem in Fenders legacy! Did you know Cabronita is Spanish slang for 'Little Bastard', I did a gig with it that night and rocked the room. It sounds fantastic and I love it even more now. Once tuned I set up the bridge and did the intonation, adjusted the humbuckers and off I went. I got home and ripped off the light strings and put on D'Addario. I drove away with the Cabronita, paperwork all in a Fender gigbag and a big grin. As I had my mind made up before I even saw it, I just said I'll take it, here's the money. It was left to gather dust in a bedroom so it is a more of less new guitar as it was in mint condition with no major marks or dings. He said he bought it online from Thomann and after a week decided he didn't like it. 8s strings on it so it was a little lifeless.

I played it, the neck was chunky but still quite comfortable. I got to the sellers house and he had it plugged into a small amp and the first thing I noticed when I picked it up was how heavy it was. I decided to buy it based on all the videos I had seen and all the highly praised reviews it garnered. He said come view it by all means but if you're into vintage Teles then don't expect too much from it. I fell in love and contacted the seller who was a 40 minute drive from my location.

The price was pretty good too so I watched most of the videos on YouTube about it. Recently I was mysteriously drawn in after seeing one for sale in an online adverts site. A few years ago when I saw these on the Fender website I thought it was a bit of a joke, and an ugly one at that.
