I have just added many new pictures to this site so take another look. You will see pictures from before I restored the guitar and after. All work was undertaken by original suppliers and luthiers. There is also new info about this great guitar.

Welcome to dreamstrat.com. This site features a completely unique Fender guitar made by Gene Baker - master luthier at Fender Musical Instruments and took well over three and a half years to complete.

The guitar was made by Fender for Awesome John (a world class guitarist from Turkey) and is the only one of it's kind in the world. Here's his link: www.awesomejohn.com

To say that 'The Dream' is unique is an understatement - take a look around this site and you will see what we mean. The guitar is currently owned by tony mckenzie ( www.tonymckenzie.com) who is a UK rock guitarist and collector.

This instrument is a one off guitar that was assembled by some of the best makers - including Gene Baker (Fender USA) - Sims Leds (UK)  - and of Course Lace Sensors (USA). The quality is simply superb and this instrument was the first (and only) 24 fret Fender Stratocaster in the world. It is likely that this instrument embodies many features that were applied as prototype designs so look forward to the day when your Strat has one or more of these great enhancements as standard on your own guitar.

No manufacturer goes to these lengths with one off design without an ulterior motive, either feasibility studies, production costing or maybe just a way of testing great new innovative designs of various components - together making 'The Dream' that all guitarists have in their own mind - this web site is a reflection of one 'Dream' Strat.
