Ampeg made a series of guitars out of acrylic, also Fender themselves actually made one for a NAMM show in the 50s... they called it the $1000 guitar! LOL as that was supposed to really mean something.

I believe it's documented in the 50th anniversary strat book.

They look nice, but they're heavy and sound ok. Not noticeably terrible.

I've seen a bohemian crystal strat body ... it sounded awful too tinny too thin too not straty .... i'd stick with alder or ash thank you very much .....

this could be interesting though ..."Plans for a see-through Strat"

"Remember"

It could be fake but then again, you would have to own it to know that.

Hello,

this specific Stratocaster is not a real Fender. What bothers me about it is the headstock. Has a fake "Fender" decal and a weird truss rod hole. What makes it LOOK real is that it says "Made in U.S.A." and has the Original Contour Body decal. Hope this helps!

Ronnie Wood played a acrylic guitar with the Faces. Given to him by Keith Richards.



To dismiss a guitar as being bad without playing it is terribly ignorant.
