I suppose it would be a gross abuse of moderator power to threaten to ban you unless you send me the Trower Strat, wouldn't it?
That guitar looks too freakin' sweet.

I love the Malmsteen strats looks, but since I'm not comfortable with the scalloped fretboards, the Trower would be my pick.

Yeah Id want the Trower too.
Carl your a real signature fender lover. I kinda always thought the signature fenders were probably the best.

Nice guitars. I had quite a few Clapton models, other Jeff Beck Strats, even a SRV.
The one I miss is the Hendrix model.

The Trower plays itself. Really great neck.

LOL, There is a Midnight Wine Trower at a local Sam Ash on LI. I cant believe they got a Trower. They want too much for it though.
I keep it with 11-48 tuned to D, like Trower! Probably the best Strat I ever owned.

Here's it's mirror image!
Even though they're both technically Olympic White, the Hendrix strat is definately more yellowish and prettier to my eyes.

Yes, neck-thru. Mine has the 6 in line headstock. He (Baker) has changed it to 3 on each side since this model.

Is the Baker body made of Koa, it looks sort this kind of wood?
We here in Australia a few unusual timbers like Huon, Blackwood, Lacewood, Queensland Myrtle, Sassafras and Sheoak (Beef Wood).
We use to import Tasmanian King Billy Pine, only grow in Tasmania and was extensively used for Yacht build but we had many acoustic guitar makers using on theor tops instead of Spruce with great results, behaved similar.
