@Fender Rams Principle #1: It’s innovative
The #Strat has many little innovations, but a big one is the tremolo.
#Fender’s unique design opened up a new level of expression for the instrument.
That expressiveness became an iconic, sonic building block for Clapton, Hendrix and more!

@Fender Rams Principle #2: It makes a product useful
Its form is lovely, but its function is superb. As Eric Clapton once said:
“...With the #Strat its functionality really steers it. That’s what makes the design so beautiful. It’s superbly thought out.”

@Fender Rams Principle #8: It’s thorough down to the last detail
Take the contoured body as one example:
It slopes along the back (to rest better against the musician’s torso)...
And the front (to allow their picking arm to rest more easily).
Truly thorough to the last detail.
