Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.This 1964 Fender Stratocaster in Lake Placid Blue is a custom-colour example from the pre-CBS era, the period before Fenders 1965 sale to CBS that collectors generally regard as the peak of the original Stratocaster design. Lake Placid Blue was one of Fenders DuPont automotive-derived custom colours, offered at a premium over the standard sunburst finish, and surviving examples in original custom colours are prized well beyond a standard-finish instrument from the same year. It is catalogued here with a Jimmy Page association.
The Framus Devin Townsend Stormbender is a progressive metal signature guitar offering innovative tonal versatility through Fishman Fluence Transcendence humbuckers with push/pull switches for humbucking and single-coil voicings. An aggressive and distinctive midrange from the 635Hz/3.4kHz bridge and 780Hz/3.4kHz neck peak frequencies yields singing high gain and beautiful clean resonance. An Evertune bridge, Graph Tech tuners and nut keep perfect tuning, and the build quality is meticulous. Clear, pristine chords and percussive, snappy single notes are hallmarks.
