Members spruilldog Posted December 17, 2009 Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 Local music store has a beautiful used Fender but I've never seen one like it and they don't seem to know much about it. The guy at the store said it was some sort of short run "special" strat. It is korean made with generally a strat body style but not quite the standard strat body. Has 2 seymour duncan humbuckers instead of the usual S-S-S config. Bridge was not the classic strat bridge and looked a little more like the American Standard bridge. I did a quick look online and the fender website but couldn't find it. I did find a special run tele with two Seymour duncan humbuckers and a coil tap that was similiar. Any idea what model this strat is or what years they were made? The store has no clue. It looked and played great. They were asking $550 with a case which I thought was reasonable but I always like to research a little before I buy. I was flamed remorselesly here a few months ago for stating how let down I've been with Fenders I've picked up lately. This is the first Fender I've picked up in quite awhile that felt good in my hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members benricci Posted December 17, 2009 Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 You'd have to provide pictures. All you've described is a Strat with 2 humbuckers. Too little to go on to provide an accurate model ID, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Prages Posted December 17, 2009 Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 Was it maybe a Showmaster? Fender has done several 'FSR' models that were made in Korea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also got the Celtic model, though mine is stripped down to wood and 1/2 the paint is sanded off at the moment. One of these days I'll finish stripping it and do the refinish I had planned.

Members spruilldog Posted December 18, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 18, 2009 Yeah I looked on ebay and they are going for ~$300. I haven't tried to bargain with them but they will usually come off the price some, I don't know about $200.00 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
