Fender 2018 Limited Edition Jaguar Strat
The Jaguar beauty makes a statement just like a little red dress with a sound that’ll slay you. The sleek Jaguar Strat has an Alder body with lacquer finish and shines with chrome embellishments and smooth contours. A retro tortoiseshell Jaguar pickguard adds a touch of contrast. And the Jag’s pickups rock: Three vintage-style Jaguar single-coil pickups, two middle pickup modes, 5-way pickup switch, and thumbwheel bridge pickup tone control. She purrs just like a classic car.

Washburn Parallaxe Z2FR Michael Sweet USA Signature Guitar
Black, yellow, and sweet design! Say “to hell with the devil” when you rock the Stryper front man’s signature guitar. Michael Sweet’s USA Signature Priestess, the Z2FR-Michael Sweet USA is based on the Parallaxe Priestess body. The graphic design is just the icing on the cake with this guitar’s modern but classic features. It also owns an original Floyd Rose Tremolo System with locking nut built in. And its sleek, offset solid mahogany body and carved raised center is just cool. Outfitted with Seymour Duncan active Blackout pickups, this axe has classic rock style with supreme playability. You’ll definitely pack a powerful punch with a Parallaxe.
