{"product_id":"fender-ritchie-blackmore-stratocaster","title":"Fender Ritchie Blackmore Stratocaster","description":"\u003cp\u003eBuilt on Ritchie Blackmore's favourite '70s Stratocaster, with the details he insisted on: a graduated scalloped rosewood fingerboard, two Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound Flat SSL-4 pickups, and a middle pickup that is there for looks only. It is not wired in, which leaves room for the picking hand and keeps the strings clear of its magnets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scalloping is graduated, shallow at the low frets and deeper up the neck. Your fingertip touches only the string, which makes vibrato and bends easier but rewards a light touch, since pressing hard pulls notes sharp. The board has a 7.25\" radius and 21 vintage-style frets on a \"U\" shape neck with a bullet truss rod, a three-bolt \"F\"-stamped neck plate with Micro-Tilt, and \"F\" stamped tuners. Two tone controls split duties, one for the neck and one for the bridge pickup, through a 3-position blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a scalloped board on a USA-made Stratocaster with three active pickups, look at the Yngwie Malmsteen Stratocaster. This one comes in Olympic White with a deluxe gig bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBODY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCountry of Origin: Mexico\u003cbr\u003eBody Material: Alder\u003cbr\u003eBody Finish: Gloss Polyester\u003cbr\u003eBody Shape: Stratocaster\u003cbr\u003ePickguard: 3-Ply White\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNECK\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeck Material: Maple\u003cbr\u003eNeck Finish: Gloss Urethane\u003cbr\u003eNeck Shape: \"U\" Shape\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Radius: 7.25\" (184.1 mm)\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Material: Graduated Scalloped Rosewood\u003cbr\u003ePosition Inlays: White Pearloid Dot\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Frets: 21\u003cbr\u003eFret Size: Vintage-Style\u003cbr\u003eTruss Rod: Bullet Style\u003cbr\u003eNut Material: Synthetic Bone\u003cbr\u003eNut Width: 1.650\" (42 mm)\u003cbr\u003eScale Length: 25.5\" (648 mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eELECTRONICS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBridge Pickup: Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound Strat SSL-4 Flat Pole Reverse Wound\/Reverse Polarity Single-Coil\u003cbr\u003eMiddle Pickup: Non-Active \"Dummy\"\u003cbr\u003eNeck Pickup: Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound Strat SSL-4 Flat Pole Single-Coil\u003cbr\u003ePickup Configuration: SSS\u003cbr\u003eControls: Master Volume, Tone 1.
