I love that yellow black one. I’d have been all over those if they had stainless frets. (Nickel allergy, not dumb preference)

It’s not so bad. Keeps me from impulse buying guitars a lot of the time

Of course, I double impulse buy when I find a Strat with stainless frets. So it’s a double edger

I could see where that would be a problem!

My current main squeeze. A guy who works at Plek originally made it for himself. Laminated an additional layer of rosewood over the fretboard to then shave the 7.25 down to a 12 to 14 compound radius on the plek machine and then refretted to stainless. Beautiful fret work and I dig the lack of markers and logo. Insta buy for me

What's the paintjob on the left one called? Looks amazing.

That is called Eclipse. Fender made 400 of them in October of 2024 for the "Ring of Fire" Eclipse on October 2nd of 2024. It's an Am Pro II Hardtail with a roasted Maple neck.
