Priced to sell too!
Order several (in case they wear out prematurely).

LOL!
I wear a hat a lot (recommended by my dermatologist), but they vary from baseball cap to fedora. In general, I don't object to this (my first thought was SRV) but then I saw the price. Nope.

Scroll down a bit on that page. The Fender Ugly Christmas Sweater is pretty bad, lol.

I have a lot of hats. Heck, I'm a hat-monger truth be told. It's silly to me that Fender would come up with something like that. I think it will be funny to turn up at the local blues jam & see a half dozen guys sporting the exact same thing, lolOriginally Posted by OldStrummer
Just as hilarious to see them all playing SRV artist model Strats.

I never really got into this ‘artist model’ fad. Ok, if you are a tribute player, go for it. But since I cover many artists and write my own stuff, being the ‘artist’ myself, I prefer to use standard instruments and make them my own
I admit to owning one "Signature Edition" guitar. Years ago I got a Gary Moore Les Paul guitar. While a fan of Moore, I didn't get the guitar because it had his name on it. I dug the LemonBurst finish and the Burstbucker pickups. This is the short version of the story, anyways... it got complicated!

Yeah, I have a signature edition Stratocaster, too. It's a Custom Shop Robin Trower model, actually signed by Trower, which is one of the main reasons I bought it. But I have to admit, it's the nicest Strat I own or have ever owned. Midnight Wine Burst with MOP inlays, locking tuners (yes, I've come to really like them!) and a neck to die for! I also like the fact that he signed it on the back of the headstock, where it doesn't scream out to the audience like the SRV models.

Fender would have made a fortune off copies of the SRV hat and vest years ago. I often wear a trilby or bigger brimmed fedora, but I don’t really find this Jaguar hat that attractive, especially not at that price.
Nothing wrong with signature guitars. Even Townsend plays a modified EC Strat. I’ve played one and loved it, great guitar.
The thing is, you’re not really going to sound like an sig model Artist. I didn’t like how KWS sounded when playing Gilmour’s Black Strat on Comfortably Numb recently. Not my taste in tone, and it illustrated how it’s the player and not the guitar.

That hat would look ridiculously bad on me. Hmmmm....
What happend?
Who let the magic smoke out?
Back right after they came out I had a couple SRV Strats. I loved the necks because they were thicker than what was being offered at the time, but I could not get used to the left-hand trem. A great idea for some, but maybe it was my approach/posture/style that always put that arm in the way. I ended up trading &/or selling them
