Fender Stratocaster American Standard 1997 - Soft Turquoise John Frusciante

Unique and exclusive piece - Collector's item

Stratocaster Zephyr (Breeze Blowing from the West) - Unique Piece.

Zephyr is a customization on a Fender Stratocaster American Standard 1997, in which we honor former Red Hot Chili Peppers (John Frusciante) guitarist.

The initial idea was to use the soft turquoise color because it refers to the wind, coldness and with it we work with elements in silver, mother of pearl, emerald, ruby, lapis lazuli, turquoise among others.

We applied the mother-of-pearl in the shape of the guitarist's silhouette on the front and we put turquoise stone on every side of the guitar.

All the stones in the composition with the silver leaf try to demonstrate conceptually the cycle of the highs and lows of the guitarist in his career.

We changed the scale to ebony with a custom inlay, which refers to the wind with its nuances and variations, made of mother of pearl and turquoise stone.

A double truss rod was added for better neck adjustment, and Joe Barden pickups together with an electric system that gives the possibility of switch capacitors in the tone.

We inserted a GPS Tracker built into the guitar, as well as an original autograph from John Frusciante himself on the back of the guitar.
