Fender Stratocaster. A guitar with a history. This Strat belongs to my daughter and how it came to be hers is interesting. When she was about 14 years old she went to a 4-H youth camp and while there she came in contact with a counselor who gave guitar lessons and she was hooked so we bought her an acoustic guitar and signed her up for regular lessons. During her time of lessons she drew a picture of herself playing an electric guitar and that guitar was a magenta/pink/red colored Fender Stratocaster. One day while out shopping she convinced me to go into a Pawn shop and there it was... the exact same guitar she had drawn in her picture in that weird magenta/pink/red color! It had been pawned by a musician down on his luck. The shop keeper told us he had the Strat painted to match his girlfriend's favorite fingernail polish. Pretty cool stuff, but just to add to it, we were able to track the year of the Strat and it was created in 1989.... the same year my daughter was born. Same color as her picture, same year she was born. So I ask, was it a fluke we walked into the pawn shop that day? :)
