Hello Hisham Seif-Eldin,

They're pretty cool, but,
unecessary for me.

I'm sure many enjoy them though.

Cheers.

You need really tiny fingers.

I'm afraid those Strat contours aren't vintage correct.

That must be right. Just look how loose and floppy the strings are tuned to 440...

Cheers - C

I agree... I guess its better to change the strings on my guitars....

Nikininja and Ceri ... are these things really playable ? I doubt it !
Cheers

I think those are pretty cool!

I don't have one of those aprticular replicas, but I do have a few small Fender Replicas... When a friend of mine was in Japan he picked up two Fender replicas for me at what would be the equivalent of a 7-11 here. They were presented in the secret box style of toys (you don't know which one you get until you purchase and open the box - similar to a lot of Kid Robot/art vinyl toys). I ended up with a little lefty Strat and a Jag.

Also, a while back I picked up a small Fender Stratocaster that is made by SD Toys. It is a 1/6 scale and amazingly detailed for it's size. It even came with a little stand, instrument cable, and picks. For now, however, Suly rocks it. :P

Also, I created these Strats from Lego bricks. :)

Please note, in my line of work, having toys (lots of toys) is accepted and encouraged. Thanks goodness for things that keep one young-at-heart!

Hey if the tuners work why not! Fair enough too small for your fingers but why not open tunings and slide?
