John Page...CRASH Stratocaster

Former Fender Custom Shop manager (and Custom Shop co-founder), John Page is presenting a journal on Modern Guitars Magazine. John talks about life after Fender and has said he is willing to answer questions left by readers. A must read for any Strat or Custom Shop fan.

Apparently, Fender will not have any of the CRASH Stratocasters on display at NAMM. All 50 are sold. That doesn't mean they've all been bought by the public, but that they've been bought by various Fender dealers (Huber and Breese, for example, have three on order).

I do know of one CRASH Stratocaster that has made it into the hands of a Strat collector (body #5) and the gentlemen who bought it was kind enough to send photos. Very beautiful. Hopefully, CRASH will publish a couple of the images in his journal).

While we won't be seeing any CRASH Strats at NAMM, I was assured yesterday by Fender that Strat fans won't be disappointed by what will be on display. The show opens tomorrow.
