The Ritchie Blackmore Stratocaster® in Olympic White pays tribute to one of rock's most iconic guitarists, whose groundbreaking style redefined the Stratocaster®'s potential. Modeled after Blackmore's favorite '70s Strat®, this instrument combines vintage character with custom touches tailored to his legendary playing. From its scalloped fingerboard to its distinctive pickup configuration, this guitar is built for expressive, high-energy performance.
A maple neck with a "U" profile and bullet truss rod provides a sturdy yet comfortable foundation, complemented by a 7.25" radius rosewood fingerboard featuring graduated scalloping for effortless bends and control. Seymour Duncan® Quarter Pound Flat™ SSL-4 pickups at the neck and bridge deliver a powerful, articulate tone, while the reverse-wound bridge adds noise cancellation. With a vintage-style synchronized tremolo and three-bolt neck plate with Micro-Tilt™, the Ritchie Blackmore Stratocaster is the ultimate homage to a guitar pioneer.
