50th Anniversary STRAT
The New T-Mobile® myTouch™ 3G Fender™ Limited Edition
is quite the match to my
Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster FMT HSS - Tobacco Sunburst
I'm watching TV when it goes to commercial and I see Eric Clapton with a phone that looks like my guitar.
I was very excited because I have never seen another Fender guitar that looked like it.
The one thing I know is that when you see the real phone it looks more brown in color than most photos of it.
So does my guitar, the tobacco candy changes color depending upon the lighting such as a photo flash.
I have always had a difficult time getting a photo of the true color of my guitar, I used Photoshop and adjusted the contrast to put together the image above. I have also paused the TV commercial and held my guitar to the screen to be amazed at the color match.
This put me into research mode to see if there were more guitars like it and I was pointed in the right direction by my new friends at http://www.fender.com/community/forums/ There are more Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster FMT HSS - Tobacco Sunburst guitars out there but just about impossible to find one for sale
I received this e-mail from Fender Consumer Relations Department (We don’t have any guitars that match exactly in our current lineup)
So far I haven't located another 50th Anniversary Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster FMT HSS - Tobacco Sunburst
