Fender Rober Cray Stratocaster Electric Guitar RW

Pure Fender And Pure Soul! The Robert Cray Standard Stratocaster guitar is a stylishly “strong persuader that captures Cray's unmistakable tone and style. Outfitted with a vintage hardtail bridge, Fender Custom Shop pickups, custom shaped neck based on a '58 and '64 Strat, Fender/Ping vintage style tuning machines, and a Sunburst finish. This guitar effortlessly takes you from stingin' to swingin, ' play it through a Vibro-Kingâ"ž¢, or a Super Reverb amp to nail Cray's sound! The feel of this guitar is solid, the hardtail bridge (no tremolo routing) has unbelievable sustain, and you can play this guitar for hours on end and without tuning. The tones from the pickups are really special. It has full, warm, chiming sound with excellent quack in the 2 & 4 positions. The pickups are probably the best pickups you will find in a mexican Strat, they carry an unreal crisp tone range. ROBERT CRAY ON HIS SIGNATURE STRATOCASTER: "The neck was designed after two older ones I use at home â€" I really don't use them on stage anymore. One is a 1958 Strat and the other is a 1964 Strat. What Fender did is measure both guitars and made the neck on my Signature guitar similar to the two. The radius was also designed to fit my hand. "My guitar has Texas Specialâ"ž¢ pickups. Fender uses the Texas Specialâ"ž¢ pickups on a lot of guitars, but on my model, the pickups get brighter as they go toward the bridge, which is unusual. I experimented with lots of [pickup configurations]. I use the second position and the fourth position mostly. I use the second position most of the time for rhythm and the fourth position for lead. But more recently I've been using the first and the third quite a bit, as well as the fifth. "Also, there's a stop tail piece, and no whammy bar. I don't use a whammy bar; that's the reason why. But the advantage is that the guitar does not go out of tune. It doesn't have any of the springs that are required for the whammy bar; the strings are threaded through the back of the guitar. "[On tour] I use three Fender Signature guitars, string gauges .011, .013, .018, .028, .036, .046 and Dunlop Tortex (heavy) picks. â€" that's all."
