The 5-way switch and 9.5" radius give this guitar modern playability.

An original vintage '69 would have a 3-way selector and 7.25" radius.

The CS makes '69 Strats with a Duncan trembucker in the bridge and an original Floyd Rose tremolo.

This Greg Feßler Masterbuilt heavily reliced metal beauty features a Purple Sparkle over a 3-Colour Sunburst finish and a matching headstock.

I think it´s very cool. The first Strats I saw in my life had large headstocks, so this looks familiar to me.

I once owned a 1991 CS "Hendrix" model, the reversed head made a difference in playability. The low e string felt softer the high e stiffer. Bendings on the high strings were a bit harder than usual. But it sounded great!

On which the graphics work fine upside down in terms of contours.

Looks like a '79 Strat finished in Midnight Wine.

This guitar has strong Mosritesque influences.

A nice example, but I never cared for them even when we were young. Was disappointed when The Ventures left Fender.

Stunning example, but somewhat hard to play: a very narrow and slim neck; I mean very narrow and slim, and a vibrato which didn't allow string gauges beyond 10-49.
But if you could deal with that, a great sounding guitar.

Nokie Edwards' Ventures Strat was featured with an early Clapton configuration.
