Fender has commemorated the 10th anniversary of the heroic acts of the first responders during the 9/11 attacks by creating three Custom Shop Stratocasters: the New York Fire Department Stratocaster, the New York Police Department Stratocaster, and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Stratocaster:
The guitars will be on display during a Fender event this month. Then, Eric Clapton will play the guitars during his Fall tour, after which the guitars will be donated to September 11 first responder organizations.
