Q: What’s the difference between the two Fender Jeff Beck Strats that Sweetwater carries? One is much more expensive than the other. From the specs, they look very similar.
A: The major difference is that the Jeff Beck Stratocaster is a standard model, made on Fender’s production line. The more expensive Jeff Beck Signature Stratocaster is a Custom Shop model, hand made by Fender’s Master Luthiers, the same craftsmen who build custom instruments for Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, Merle Haggard, and others.
Either Stratocaster is going to be awesome, but the Custom Shop model takes it to the nth degree for the ultimate reproduction of the actual guitar that Beck himself plays.
