Acclaimed guitarist Ritchie Blackmore has been creating memorable guitar riffs for decades. His deft phrasing, fleet-fingered picking, and unmistakable tone have helped make the phrase "guitar solo" a household term. The Fender Ritchie Blackmore Signature Stratocaster is based on his favorite '70s model and has a maple neck with a graduated scalloped rosewood fretboard, Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound Flat pickups, and '70s-style "F" tuners. Just like Richie's Strat, the guitar's middle pickup has been replaced with a non-working dummy pickup. Deluxe gig bag included.

i bought this and was expecting a good guitar. what i got was quality worse than a squier. it sounds horrible, and it never stays in tune. DO NOT BUY THIS!!!!!!!
This is a real nice MIM guitar. Finish and craftsmanship is excellent, and some of the best for MIM. Bear in mind this is a "signature guitar", made to Blackmore's habits. The fretboard is scalloped and there are only the bridge and neck pickups, as thats all he uses and the middle pickup is removed just like Ritchie's long time favorite guitar. Take a look before you buy and see if its what you want. Find one in the store, I think you will be pleased as I was. A lot of people gripe about new guitars without giving them time to settle in to "use" and "climate".
The specs are listed above. I have to admit I never thought I would be impressed with a Mexican Strat,boy was I wrong,this is the best Strat I (American included)own.The workmenship is great, fit n finish sharp.If you own just one Strat it should be olympic white. The scalloped fretboard is a pleasure to play (much more useful than the steep scalloped fretboard on the Malmsteen Strat)It sounds just like Ritchie's tone from his Rainbow years ,you gotta love those Seymour Duncan 1/4 pounders.The large head stock gives it great sustain and looks cool too!If you dig Ritchie's vibe you need this axe!!!!!Fender could very well call this "That 70's Strat"
