It's hard to imagine a world in which all Fender Stratocasters were the exact same color, but that was the state of things when Howard Reed Jr. walked into McCord Music Company in Dallas, Texas in 1955 and placed a special order that would change the world of electric guitars forever. He looked at the rows and rows of sunburst Stratocasters, decided he wanted something a little different, and made history by asking "Can I get that in black?" Reed then proceeded to make his Strat famous across all of Texas by barnstorming with Gene Vincent and His Blue Caps, an early rock and roll outfit of great regional renown. Ever the savvy self-promoter, Reed glued his initials onto the upper bout of the guitar to make sure that everyone who saw him would remember his name. Who knows, H.A.R. may have even influenced a certain well-known Texas bluesman to follow in his footsteps and display his own initials prominently on a certain Sunburst Strat...

Such a historic guitar had to spend some time in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and though the original H.A.R. Strat now resides in a private collection, the geniuses at the Fender Custom Shop have chosen to enshrine it in a different way: by building an exacting replication for their Private Collection. Master Builder Dennis Galuzska spent untold hours toiling to recreate every one of the original's dings and scratches accurately, and his effort really shows, because this guitar looks just like it's spent most of its life in Texas juke joints!

Of course, when a guitar looks like its been gigged to death, that usually means that it sounds and plays fantastic, and Mr. Galuszka has done an exceptional job capturing the mojo of H.A.R.'s original axe. The hand-selected one-piece ash body is light and resonant, the hand-wound '55 Custom Shop pickups sound like they came out of a time machine, and the '54-style U-shaped neck is a breeze to play. Truly, this H.A.R. Stratocaster is a fitting tribute to its owner, and it is one of the finest Stratocaster reissues Wildwood has ever had the privilege of showcasing. We are proud to show it off to our fantastic customers, and we hope you find it as inspiring as we do!
