USED Fender / Ritchie Blackmore Stratocaster with Scalloped Rosewood Fingerboard, Olympic White [3.54 kg / 2014]

A signature model by Ritchie Blackmore, the guitarist for Deep Purple and Rainbow, who boasts an illustrious career.

This is a Fender (Made in Mexico) Richie Blackmore Stratocaster, manufactured in 2014. It is based on 1970s specifications, featuring an alder body, maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, 21 frets, a bullet-style truss rod, a three-point neck joint, and a large headstock.The fingerboard features scalloped frets, offering exceptional playability, especially for fast playing. It features inlaid Jim Dunlop locking tuners, Seymour Duncan SSL-4 pickups in the front and rear positions, a dummy pickup in the center, and a 1-volume/2-tone/3-way selector control.

This model recreates the Stratocaster that Richie began using in the late 1970s. It is a must-have for fans of 70s and 80s hard rock.

Signs of use are visible (scratches, playwear, picking marks, faded or rusted pickup bobbins, tarnished, pitted, or rusted metal parts and screws, and other cosmetic damage).

Set up upon arrival (fret leveling, cleaning, string replacement, truss rod adjustment, octave adjustment, and string height adjustment). The frets are at a height suitable for playing, and the truss rod can be adjusted in both directions (tightening and loosening) and has been tested to operate smoothly within a range of ±60°.
