Fender's Mexican-made signature Stratocaster for Buddy Guy, finished in black-and-white polka dots, with an alder body, a maple neck with a soft V profile and three standard single-coil pickups on a five-way switch. It has the bright, spanky, glassy voice of a classic Strat, with the hollow quack of the in-between positions that suits Chicago blues. Guy's polka-dot guitars grew out of the Custom Shop Stratocaster modeled on Eric Clapton's that he played in the late 1980s.
