Fender Robin Trower Stratocaster
Fender · electric guitar
The Fender Custom Shop Robin Trower Signature Stratocaster is a collaboration between Trower and master builder Todd Krause featuring custom single-coil pickups: a bluesy, gritty Texas Special bridge, a round low and chiming high Custom 54 neck, and a reverse-wound, reverse-polarity Custom 60s middle for hum-canceling quacky in-between tones. An alder body, custom C-shaped maple neck with modern 9.5-inch radius and 21 medium-jumbo frets support expressive bending. The thick-ish tone with crisp edge captures Trower blues-rock riff clarity.
