Fender X Hypebeast limited edition Stratocaster 24 units worldwide

[LazyShu]

Hi Folks,

You may have seen this or similar announcements

https://respect-mag.com/2020/10/hype...-stratocaster/

I managed to get one and here are some pics.
I personally think it looks absolutely amazing and is one of the best looking strats ever.
It's definitely a collector's item and is actually gloss navy all over including the neck.
Chrome hardware goes really well against the Navy too as you can see on the headstock, chrome lettering as well.

Plays and sounds amazing, very fast neck similar to my american performer.

For now I will be keeping it but may auction it to a collector so if someone is interested in buying it, let me know. This is one of just 24 units made worldwide.

This ad says "by Mark Wong"... Could this be our very own Phtotweborama?

Welcome to the Forum! 21 of 24, huh? That's quite a limited edition!

I think the word "hype" sums it up.

According to their own "hype" they are the largest stringed instrument maker in the world. Consequently, they have to sell a ton of stuff.

Maybe Joe Bonamassa or some other collector will buy one.

So they made only 24. Does that make it more playable? Does it make any difference in what amp you plug it into? If you plug it into a Fender amp will it sound more "magical"? More "magical" than any other guitar?

The marketing goobs have outdone themselves. I know of no other profession that exists simply of trying to convince you that you can't live without whatever they're selling.

I'm still waiting to hear a reason that I really "need" 5G. Or an argument that I need this guitar.
