This "John English "Prototype #01" "Freddie Tavares Aloha" Stratocaster was built by John English in August 1994, (but never actually assembled). It weighs just 7.50 lbs. and has a comfortable nut width of just over 1 5/8 inches, a really comfortable medium neck profile, and a scale length of 25 1/2 inches. Anodized Aluminium body, hand engraved with a Hawaiian scene by master artisan Ron Chacey, contoured on back and lower bass bout. One-piece highly figured 'flamed' maple neck and fretboard with 22 medium frets and green 'abalone' dot position markers and Aloha and palm tree pearl inlays by Larry Sifel. Small headstock with Fender logo inlaid in abalone and a cresting wave also inlaid in abalone above the logo. On the ball end of the headstock is a palm tree inlaid in white and green pearl and the signature of "Freddie Tavares" in black. Individual Fender 'American Series' chrome-plated tuners with pentagonal Abolone tuner tips specially made (each one signed on the underside) by George Amicay. On the back of the headstock is an oval decal lettered in gold "Custom Built / J.T. English / Fender U.S.A.". On the end of the neck, written in black ink is "1st MPL PROTO" also signed in green ink "J. English / 8-94". Four-bolt neck plate engraved "FREDDIE TAVARES / "ALOHA" / PROTO #01". Aluminium tremolo cover engraved "Freddie Tavares / Commemorative / Aloha / Stratocaster". Three 'Stratocaster' 'staggered-pole' single-coil pickups with outputs of 5.36k, 5.27k, and 5.26k, respectively. These pickups were specially hand-wound by the legendary Abigail Ybarra and each one is signed by her on the underside. Specially hand engraved aluminium pickguard (continuing Ron Chacey's Hawaiian scene from the body) with eleven screws. Three controls (one volume, two tone) plus five-way selector switch with aluminum tip, all on the treble side of the pickguard. The potentiometers are all stamped "137 9307" (CTS, February 1993). Special hand-made aluminium Stratocaster 'skirt-style' control knobs with 'ribbed' sides. Fender 'Floyd Rose' locking 'Tremolo' assembly with six individually anodized saddles with six black hexagonal locking nuts. Special chrome tremolo arm. This 'Prototype' is in near mint (9.25) condition and is housed in it's original Fender cream tolex hardshell case with tan leather ends and red plush lining (9.00).

And so it came to pass, at 7:48 of this video, it was at that precise moment that the whammy bar knew that it was indeed Phil X's bitch. End of story.
