    That white moto strat is, how to put it politely, fucking hideous. 

    Bizarrely I think the blue moto tele that appears was not that bad.

    One of the few Fender Custom Shop's that I'd have  :)
    Needs a chandelier mounting point though.

    That aqua Strat is gorgeous! Somehow, to me, it looks better on a Strat than a flame maple top does.

    I remember seeing a dark green MOTO Jazzmaster serval years ago that was gorgeous. I think there may have been a matching Strat and Tele.
    My wife asked me to stop singing Wonderwall.
    I said maybe.....

    Disappointed. I thought this was going to be about some much-needed plastic recycling.

    Which leads to an interesting question though: Would you play a guitar if it actually was made of recycled toilet seats?

    You'd need to be wearing cowboy boots and a ten gallon hat to play that monstrosity.

    Hmm... Maybe it could help you achieve the Brown Note  :)

    I don't think I'm flush enough for one of those
    The Bigsby was the first successful design of what is now called a whammy bar or tremolo arm, although vibrato is the technically correct term for the musical effect it produces. In standard usage, tremolo is a rapid fluctuation of the volume of a note, while vibrato is a fluctuation in pitch. The origin of this nonstandard usage of the term by electric guitarists is attributed to Leo Fender, who also used the term “vibrato” to refer to what is really a tremolo effect.

    I used to have one.I can't remember the serial number but I seem to recall it was between 100-200 .The overall look was bloody awful but the Strat was a killer. The bird's eye maple neck was out of this world ,a great guitar with a C.O.A. signed by the builder John Cruz.The amp was a Fender Blues Deluxe ,also a killer amp. I picked it up for 2k in an auction  (Gardiner Houlgate) and sold it a year or two later for about the same money.If you could see beyond the Moto finish you were getting a superb custom build Strat and brilliant amp for the price of CS guitar alone (at the time I bought it) circa 2011.I'd totally forgotten about it until I saw this thread.The guy I flogged it to, recovered the amp cloth and put in on the Bay for 5k but it didn't sell.Don't know if he sold it subsequently. It's the kind of look you'd expect from a 70's glam rock band..The Sweet?
