Fender John English '54 Strat 50th Anniversary Sunburst, 2004

The Stratocaster burst on the scene in 1954, and the Fender John English ’54 Strat 50th Anniversary model very closely replicates one of the originals. The late John English was for many years the senior Master Builder at Fender’s Custom Shop, until his death in 2007. These few ’54 Strats are a testament to his skill.

Gibson SG Supreme Fireburst, 2002

On January 26, 2023   /    
Gibson SG Supreme Fireburst, 2002

The Gibson SG Supreme was built from 1999 to 2009 and features a figured Maple cap on a Mahogany slab body, paired with a Mahogany neck and bound Richlite fingerboard. At first, the SG Supreme was equipped with a pair of P-90 pickups, but these were phased out in favour of Humbuckers over the year 2000 and into 2001. In 2002, the ‘Fireburst’ finish seen here started rising from the tail of the guitar, rather than the traditional burst with dark edges and lighter center.
