{"product_id":"fender-stratocaster-manual","title":"Fender Stratocaster Manual","description":"Product Description\n\nLeo 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.\n\nAbout the Author\n\nPaul 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.","brand":"Haynes Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40377561350229,"sku":"9780857332226N","price":13.78,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2481\/5790\/products\/fb83acc4-4dea-430e-98ba-65fa26011efb.jpg?v=1665566504","url":"https:\/\/smeikalbooks.co.uk\/products\/fender-stratocaster-manual","provider":"smeikalbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
