Greetings! I am brand new to the forum here, and I'm not really sure if a thread exists concerning the 60's Reverse Strat or not.
Being that as it may, one surely does now!

I am wondering if any of you has one of these Strats, and what you think of it on an over all basis.

I attempted to find it here on the Fender site, but I found everything BUT the 60's Reverse Strat.

Actually, what I am trying to find is an Olympic white Strat, with a maple neck and maple (birds eye) fret board, with a REVERSED HEADSTOCK and a DOUBLE LOCKING FLOYD ROSE!!!!

Fender apparently DOES NOT OFFER this particular make up.
Yes, you can get a Floyd Rose model, but only with a Rosewood fret board, and NOT with a REVERSE HEAD STOCK.

I could have one CUSTOM MADE of course, but the best estimate I've been given is well over $1,000.
And lets be completely honest.....guitars of ALL makes are generally WAY over priced to begin with.

I own a Richie Sambora sig model (MIM) which has a Floyd Rose.....on a rosewood fret board of course....and I really love the guitar....for the most part. I switched out the neck pick up with a DiMarzio HS-3, which was a tad bit of a tonal improvement I though.
But I wanted a maple fret board!!!

I simply DO NOT understand why Fender doesn't offer the Floyd Rose with maple necks!!!
Every other guitar maker does!

Thoughts? Comments?

I would think that Fender would probably want to promote their own trem system making others harder to get in different options. But there could be other explanations

Hey there!
I own a reverse headstock strat that I bought recently which was probably one of the best deals I ever made since I paid only 320.00 bucks for it new from MF using a sale price and a 25% off coupon :P however after playing it every day I decided to upgrade the pickups and got the EMG DG20 set which includes three SA's, a guitar expander circuit and a guitar prescense circuit that kind of makes single coils sound like humbuckers.... I am really happy with it now...there's something about this guitar that's just fantastic specially the neck...the specs say its a 7.25 radius neck so maybe thats the difference since I had never had a guitar with that neck radius anyway I'll try to post a video of me playing it soon so you can listen to it :p

Hey Synk - you showed us that babe on another thread - really sexie number IMO! I'd love to hear it! How does one get a 25% off cupon from MF?

How do you like the red Floyd Rose guitar?

Pete 3 Fingers Kelly, strauboids, Stigall, surfco - may I introduce you all to one another?

Fingers, go searching in recent threads in this forum for "Jimi Hendrix Strat", and also check out some of the last few pages of "Pics of Your Strat". The next steps of your quest await you there.

Cheers
