Slightly off subject - but two odd ball guitars for JohnJorgenson that have influences from different Fender Guitars as per your blue sparkle wonder featured earlier in the post
@keefy - thanks for the dates - I have a host of old Guitarist Mags so will dig those out to re-read those articles
My error on the above - The Tele style was for Will Ray - Called a Jazz A Caster - Sold then for £1200 ish
Never seen a John Jorgensen Strat style
So no not my stock
@Keefy - Here is a link to one on Reverb - quirky gold leaf finish
They did a limited edition Eric Clapton Strat with this finish a while ago as well - https://wildwestguitars.com/electric/fender-cs-todd-krause-masterbuilt-clapton-gold-leaf
A younger me thought the Super-Sonic was about the coolest production guitar I'd ever seen.
Loved Dominic's custom build, but remember being astounded that he'd spent far, far more than the deposit on my first house.
Guitarist magazine was hugely influential;
My first electric was a Squier Tele Custom II, purely based on their review.
I even phoned them up and spoke to a member of the editorial team who reassured me it would be a great choice as a first guitar.
I still have it and play it regularly.
Great thread, thanks folks.
Big thumbs up from me, I'm keeping the scans!
I've just looked mine up - bought (new) for £179.99 in August 1998. Sold four years later for £175.00. That's practically a profit!
Things like this in Guitarist indirectly led to me looking into partscasters and eventually building my own stuff... since the CS was out of my price range
Was yours the blue one? If so you did well as I remember the white and black being about £180 but the blue and silver being £20 more.

The gold sparkle guitar is a signature model for Jorgenson's Hellecaster colleague, Will Ray.
