Fender Stratocaster Signature Dave Murray RW 2-Color Sunburst

A Fender Stratocaster Designed for Modern Power

The Fender Dave Murray Stratocaster carries the timeless DNA of the Strat but projects it into a decidedly more powerful realm. Designed in collaboration with Dave Murray, it is inspired by a model the artist has long used on stage and prioritizes reliability, output level, and playing precision. The result: a "performance" Strat that embraces a more aggressive character than traditional SSS configurations.

Who Is It For, and What Styles?

This guitar is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a Strat capable of handling high gain without unwanted noise, while retaining usable intermediate pickup positions. Ideal for heavy metal, hard rock, and all styles requiring tight riffs, fluid solos, and pronounced vibrato effects. The Floyd Rose will require some familiarity for setup but offers exemplary tuning stability.

Sound Characteristics

The alder body provides a classic balance: present mids, defined highs, and firm lows, perfect for clarity under distortion. The three Seymour Duncan humbuckers deliver a modern tone: the Hot Rails at neck and bridge offer a dense, compressed, and powerful sound, ideal for palm mutes and singing leads. The Mini JB in the middle position adds bite and projection, and the 5-position selector switch allows quick transitions from a thick rhythmic wall to sharper attacks. The double-locking Floyd Rose enhances stability and contributes to a very direct playing feel, designed for live use.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To maintain the original setup feel, you can use 09-42 strings like the included set (Fender USA 250L Nickel Plated Steel .009-.042). For transport, a Deluxe Gig Bag is included.
