Fender Custom Shop Ritchie Blackmore Tribute Stratocaster Electric Guitar w/Case, Black

Ritchie Blackmore's iconic blues riff from the 1972 Deep Purple classic 'Smoke on the Water' is the ultimate heavy - rock guitar riff and a must - learn for budding rock guitarists. The Fender Custom Shop Ritchie Blackmore Tribute Stratocaster is a remarkable instrument. It features a two - piece alder body with a subtly worn Black urethane finish, giving it a cool vintage look. The 'U' - shaped maple neck offers a comfortable grip, and the 7.25' - radius maple fingerboard with medium jumbo frets allows for smooth playing. Custom '68 Stratocaster pickups, hand - wound by Josefina, deliver rich and authentic tones. With 3 - way pickup switching, you can easily change your sound. Schaller tuners ensure accurate tuning. The four - bolt neck plate is stamped with a serial number and a stylized Fender 'F'. A vintage - style synchronized tremolo with Blackmore's unique custom ¼' trem arm adds to its charm. And it comes with an orange - lined black textured vinyl case with the 'Fender amp' logo, perfect for protection and transportation.

Using this Fender Custom Shop Ritchie Blackmore Tribute Stratocaster is a breeze. First, take it out of the orange - lined black case gently. Plug it into your amplifier using a suitable guitar cable. You can use the 3 - way pickup switch to change between different pickup combinations and get various sounds. The tremolo arm allows you to add a vibrato effect to your playing, but be careful not to over - bend it. When it comes to tuning, use the Schaller tuners. Just turn them slowly until you reach the right pitch. For maintenance, keep the guitar in a dry and cool place. Wipe it down with a soft cloth after each use to remove fingerprints and dust. Check the strings regularly and change them when they start to sound dull. Also, make sure to keep the case clean to protect your guitar better.
