This model is a reproduction of the 1968 Strat that Ritchie Blackmore used during his Deep Purple

Machine Head days.


Carefully selected two-piece alder body, a U-shaped maple neck, a non-scalloped 7.25-inch radius

maple fingerboard, and medium jumbo-sized frets. Equipped with a 3-way pickups selector according

to his own specifications, and the custom 1/4 inch tremolo arm known for being used by Blackmore.

(Custom made second tremolo arm for non flat tremolo users with a larger angle for better

playability.)


Three PUs wired by Josefina Campos, the successor to the retired Abigail Ibarra. The sound has a

strong presence with a thick core and a sense of speed at rise, and even when distorted, you can hear

a high-quality sound with a thick sound image with good edges and separation.


There are a few small scratches on back side, it shows little signs of use, but is in good condition

overall. The neck condition is good and the playing surface is good with almost no fret wear. Comes

with certificate and original hard case.
