Fender Stratocaster Manual

Product Description Leo Fender launched the Stratocaster electric guitar in 1954 as an upgrade to his revolutionary Telecaster. The 'Strat' - streamlined, chrome-plated, efficient, fast and sexy - soon gained icon status. Today, while original models change hands for thousands of dollars, almost identical Stratocasters are mass-produced by Fender USA for sale worldwide. The 'Strat' remains a low-maintenance 'good little runner' and, with the help of the second edition of this practical 'how to' manual, will last a lifetime. About the Author Paul Balmer has played and taught guitar for 40 years. His background includes broadcasting (TV and radio) and video/DVD production. Besides his guitar manuals for Haynes - subjects include Fender Telecaster, Gibson Les Paul, Fender Bass and acoustic guitars - he has written the official biography of Stephane Grappelli, the jazz violinist. He lives at Oakley Vale, Northamptonshire.
