Fender Artist Series Jeff Beck Stratocaster Electric Guitar Surf Green


Description
The Fender Artist Series Jeff Beck Stratocaster electric guitar channels the signature sound and feel of a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer. This stunning surf green Stratocaster is tailored to Beck's current stylistic preferences, with a softer C-shaped neck and Fender's special-design dual-coil ceramic Noiseless pickups for crystal-clear tone. You can get this meticulously crafted instrument at Guitar Center, allowing you to achieve the smooth sustain and articulate note separation of a master.
Softer Neck Contour for Effortless Playability
The fast-playing neck on the Jeff Beck Stratocaster features a comfortable, "soft C" profile, a shape preferred by Beck for its ability to facilitate intricate solos and chord progressions. The 9.5" fretboard radius and narrow-tall frets also aid in low-action, string-bending bliss.
Cutting-Edge Pickups Provide Pristine Tone
Equipped with a trio of Fender's dual-coil ceramic Noiseless pickups, this signature Strat produces the transparent and nuanced tones Beck requires. The bridge pickup delivers articulate chime, the middle pickup warm and round tone, and the neck pickup offers fat, bluesy warmth. A five-way switch provides an array of tonal combinations from these pickups, allowing musicians to craft their unique sound.
Vintage-Style Bridge for Familiar Feel
This signature Stratocaster features a synchronized tremolo bridge with vintage-style bent steel saddles for a classic tone and playing feel. The bridge allows for subtle pitch effects and shimmering chord washes, a staple of Beck's style. Combined with a solid alder body and standard 25.5" scale length, the bridge helps produce the resonant, singing sustain musicians have come to expect from a Strat.
Premium Appointments and Road-Ready Reliability
With premium features like a bone nut, chrome hardware and Fender/Schaller deluxe cast/sealed locking tuners, the Jeff Beck Stratocaster delivers rock-solid tuning stability and sustain. A vintage-style tweed case protects this signature model, allowing musicians to transport it safely to venues and recording sessions. Overall, this stunning signature Strat provides aspiring guitarists with an instrument to channel the style and tone of a legendary artist.

Jeff Beck Sig is a BIG-time winner -- five-stars easily
submitteda year ago

I have a recent American Pro II Strat too that is also a monster of a guitar, BUT this Jeff Beck Signature ups it by a notch or so. The JB has a lot of unique stuff to make it quite unique and VERY worthwhile that SIGNIFICANTLY separates it from the rest of the MIA line. Additionally, Fender quality is super high, with no little QC issues or tweaks on either of those Strats -- both perfect and very well set up right out of the case. For me, I just needed to tweak down the action a bit (then intonate according and that was it). The JB model has a lot of nice extras on it including the killer vintage-y case (you can read all of the unique features so I am not going to list here). I go through extended playing times with it, and never goes out of tune at all. I love the pickups, especially; very creamy and take on gain and break up fabulously. The sustain is other worldly too. The CS model is mostly the same except for its NOS finish making the regular MIA at less than half the cost of the CS the one to get (IMO). This is a super EXCELLENT Strat -- five-stars, quite easily. I have been playing 45 years and have lots of MIA Fenders and Gibsons.
Beautiful guitar with awesome tone

I bought this Becky from Guitar Center and it is simply one of the very best Fender Stratocasters I have ever played. I bought my first Strat in 1970 and have played professionally since then and still gig and play in the studio today, so I know Strats. Feels great, looks beautiful and sounds phenomenal. I use Mesa amps and sometimes Soldano. But it doesn't really matter about the amp you use, the Beck Strats are going to sound beautiful! If you utilize the wammy bar, this is the guitar for you. Stays in tune with tremolo bar heavy use! Locking tuners rule! If you are thinking of buying an American Standard Strat, skip that and buy the Beck Strat for the same price!
I would buy this product again!

What is a blemished guitar? Is the defect only cosmetic? Any way to find out more about the particular issue before purchase? Thanks I appreciate your help!
Unfortunately additional pictures are unavailable. Blemishes are slight and do not affect the tone or play ability of the instrument.submitted6 years ago
