EVH Eddie Van Halen Frankenstein Replica Electric
Guitar Black/White/Red
Eddie Van Halen and Fender have joined forces to bring
you EVH® brand guitars, amps and musical products, beginning with a
most eagerly awaited musical event: the unveiling of a 300-instrument
limited edition run of the Eddie Van Halen Frankenstein™replica
guitar.
This red, black and white ash-body guitar has been put through an
astounding aging process to replicate the original down to every last
scratch, ding and cigarette burn. Fender craftsmen even scoured the land
for 1971 quarters just like the original Eddie at one time stuck under
the original tremolo bridge to mount near the Floyd Rose® Original
tremolo bridge. The guitar features a Seymour Duncan® Custom Shop EVH®
humbucking pickup, a single master volume knob (that says Tone ) mounted
on a partial black pickguard identical to the original. Leaving no stone
unturned, the guitar is complete with a non-functional three-way switch
and single-coil pickup that occupy two of the three pickup routs.
It's a phenomenally crafted piece of rock history of guitar history,
period and it could only come from Eddie Van Halen and the talented
resources of Fender. It simply must be seen, heard and felt to be
believed, and it will re-evoke the awestruck wonder and sheer thrill you
experienced the first time you saw, heard and felt the incredible
musical power of Eddie Van Halen.

by Todd Krause features a custom paint job by today's foremost pop

Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition Andy Summers
Tribute Telecaster Electric Guitar
Fender couldn't be more proud and excited to unveil a
very special 250-instrument Limited Edition run of the Fender Custom
Shop Andy Summers Tribute Telecaster ® tuners. It's a note-perfect
replica of the 1961 Tele® that Summers used to help propel the Police
to untold heights of worldwide pop superstardom.
Featuring the ferocious humbucking neck pickup and single coil bridge
pickup mounted in the body rather than in the broken brass (not chrome)
bridge plate; a control plate-mounted mini-toggle phase switch;
body-mounted preamp on/off mini-toggle switch (the Custom Shop has
recreated the Police-era preamp); the rear-mounted overdrive unit
controlled by a third knob below the two traditional Telecaster volume
and tone controls; "soft" brass bridge pieces and Schaller®
tuners.
The prototype, built by Fender Custom Shop Master Builder Dennis
Galuszka over the course of a year, is currently in use with Andy now.
The guitar features the same "eccentric" modifications that
the original had when Summers first bought it, most of which were
unchanged throughout the nonstop work and excitement of the Police
years.
Summers played number one of the 250 replicas when the Police once again
electrified the music world by reuniting on Feb. 11, 2007, to open the
49th annual Grammy Awards ceremony in Los Angeles. Even more exciting,
Summers will play the replica during the momentous 2007 30th anniversary
worldwide Police reunion tour, one of the most hoped for and eagerly
awaited events in pop music history. It promises to be a thrilling
musical event featuring one of rock's most innovative guitarists playing
a spot on replica of one of rock's most distinctive guitars.
Hit after hit was recorded and performed on it - "Roxanne,"
"So Lonely," "Walking On the Moon," the breathtaking
"Message In a Bottle," "Don't Stand So Close to Me,"
"Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic," "Every Breath You
Take," "Wrapped Around Your Finger," "Synchronicity
II" and "King of Pain." Every nick, scratch, dent and
wear mark on Andy's guitar has been painstakingly recreated on this
amazing tribute Telecaster. For Police fans, collectors, and '80s
tribute bands, you just can't get much better than the Andy Summers
tribute guitar.
Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition Jeff Beck
Tribute Esquire Electric Guitar White Blonde
Over the course of his 40-year career, Jeff Beck has
attained heights of guitar greatness seldom if ever equaled, and he has
long been regarded as one of the finest and most distinctive voices of
the electric guitar, period. The Fender Custom Shop is very proud indeed
then to introduce a very special 150-instrument run of the Tribute
Series Jeff Beck Esquire Relic guitar, exquisitely and meticulously
modeled after Beck's famous Blonde '54 Esquire.
This exact reproduction duplicates the original guitar's light weight,
unusual body contours, dings and wear patterns, soft V-shaped '57
one-piece maple neck, chipped black pickguard and brass bridge saddles
(with which Beck had replaced the original steel saddles soon after
buying the guitar for $60 from its original owner, Walker Brothers
guitarist John Maus).
Legendary Fender pickup artist" Abigail Ybarra carefully recreated
the single '51 Nocaster" single-coil bridge pickup, and the
guitar's amazing authenticity extends even to the control wiring, 1056
serial number, and even a cosmetically aged vintage-style guitar strap.
Beck himself, in fact, was almost fooled when our reproduction arrived
at his door, thinking on first opening the case that he'd gotten his
original guitar back!
The guitar comes in a vintage tweed case, and includes a DVD interview
with Beck, 8x10 color photo, Custom Shop certificate, and Master Builder
signature and serial number decal on the back of the headstock.
