It's a new signature guitar from the influential guitarist from U2, the Edge.
This guitar has been long expected now since the Edge actually joined Fenders board of directors a couple of years ago, he's been allowed to let rip with a lovely custom spec Strat with a lovely combination of features.
A pair of special Custom Shop Fat 50's single-coils with custom flat-staggered polepieces for the edges own string response, sit in the neck and middle, these are tonally very versatile, but we'd characterise as mainly having a better than usual bass response.
The Bridge pickup is a DiMarzio FS-1 pickup which has the effect of balancing and smoothing the guitars tone out and give a nice clear articulation.
A maple neck with the contoured neck heel produces a nice bright tone and is comfortable to play from one end to the other. For a modern spec Strat it also sports a more vintage sized headstock which looks the business.
Ships in a special grey tweed hard case, this is a lovely example of a USA Strat if you still haven't found what you're looking for. (sorry).
