What you’re looking at is more than just a guitar—it’s a masterclass in vintage design, modern craftsmanship, and tonal precision. This close-up showcases the unmistakable curves and creamy yellow finish of a Fender Stratocaster, one of the most iconic electric guitar silhouettes in music history. But what truly sets this particular model apart is its maple neck with scalloped frets—a feature beloved by virtuosos for the way it allows expressive bends, subtle vibrato, and effortless speed.
Scalloped fretboards are rare by design. Unlike standard frets, scalloping involves carving out the wood between the frets to create a shallow U-shape. The result is a playing experience where your fingers only contact the strings, not the fingerboard, giving you more control with less effort. Though originally popularized by players like Yngwie Malmsteen in the ‘80s shred era, scalloped necks have become a symbol of elite custom instruments—favored by those who demand finesse and flair in equal measure.
The light, vintage-tinted finish nods to Fender’s golden age in the 1950s and early ‘60s, when Leo Fender’s original vision revolutionized the music industry. The Stratocaster’s contoured body, bolt-on neck, and triple single-coil pickup layout became the blueprint for generations of electric guitars. But this version adds a twist of modernity with its scalloped neck—combining retro style with a highly specialized performance edge.
Whether you're a collector, a tone chaser, or just someone who appreciates the beauty of well-worn wood and chrome, this guitar is a conversation starter and a player’s dream. It’s hanging on display now, but it’s ready to sing in the right hands.

A Fender Bronco gets ready to call it a night.
Montreal International Jazz Festival 2024.
Montreal, Quebec
Canada
7th August (evening) 2024 at the Ham Marquee, Sidmouth.
Sidmouth Folk Festival.
Country: Britain. Style: Folk-Rock / Indie.
Lineup: John Jones (v/melodeon), Ian Telfer (fiddle/vibraslap), Alan Prosser (g), Adrian Oxaal (cello), Al Scott (bass g/mandolin), Sean Randle (d).
This concert was part of the Oysterband's "long goodbye" tour. They first came to the Sidmouth Festival in 1978 when they were the Oyster Ceilidh Band (they shortened their name in the late 1980s). Playing at Ceilidhs is now a very rare occurence for the band, but they did one the night before this gig. I had seen them twice before - in 2003 at the Forum in Kentish Town and (an acoustic version of the band) in 2007 at the Artsdepot in Finchley. However, these were before I started taling photos.
