Why not spread the cost?
The Fender Aloha Stratocaster is a limited edition guitar made by the folks at the Fender Custom Shop in memory of Hawaiian musician and inventor Freddy Tavares. Tavares was commissioned by Leo Fender to design the Stratocaster, as well as products such as the Bassman Amplifier.
This guitar features an all-aluminum body and pickguard, which is engraved by master artisan Ron Chacey with Hawaiian imagery reminiscent of the scenes often engraved on resonator guitars. While its appearance is unusual, the tone is pure Fender and achieves all of the tones that make the Strat so beloved for over 65 years. This guitar is in superb condition and comes with a custom leather gig bag as well as a hard case.
