Fitting tribute to a blues legend ...

I've had this guitar for a few years and love it! It was my first Strat, and I think I made a great choice. Mine is white with black dots. The tone and sustain are great, and I'm a maple fretboard guy so the neck is great. The only modification I've made is shortening the tremolo arm. I'm happy with the whole set-up; I'm just toying with the idea of sticking some Lace Sensor pickups in there to see if that makes any difference. I love the bluesy tone that the guitar gets now, though, so I don't know if I'll actually switch pickups. If you like blues and you're looking for a good Strat, look no further!

I own this guitar since approximately 1 year. I bought it used and I've made some modifications on it (H&H pickup configuration, new saddles and scallop). Guess what; It sounds louder and greater than my American Strat (even unplugged). The sustain is incredible! I'd recommend to do some modifications to the electronics; the original pickups are a little bit noisy and sound too thin. Put great pickups on it and it'll be ready to rock!

When it comes to Polka Dot guitars, there are only two out there that come to mind: Buddy's Fender Strat and Vivian Campbell's Kramer Nightswan designed by Buddy Blaze of Texas. Makes me wonder which came first. In any case, Buddy's Fender plays like butter, however I think Vivian's Nightswan has about the lowest action that can be found on an electric guitar. Both are great quality.

Despite Being a Buddy Guy Guitar. This Baby has A Rhoads-esque charm to it, or the black with white polkadots does anyway. It plays decent too
