| Fender Shelby® GT Strat® Guitar Idol-ized OK, so, we were glued to American Idol last night (that’d be the May 16 telecast, btw), and midway through the broadcast they showed one of those Ford® music videos like they’ve been doing all season, you know? And this video shows, like, the Idol finalists zipping around town, but it also shows this kid jumping on his bed, rockin’ out to Billy Squier’s “Everybody Wants You” with a way-cool Limited Edition Shelby® GT Stratocaster® guitar from the Ford® Collection! You know—the totally sweet black Strat with the silver “Shelby® GT” racing stripe, the custom Ford® logo bridge graphic and matching black headstock with the silver Fender logo and silver Ford® Mustang® Pony™ silhouette. Right there on national television in front of, like, 80 gazillion viewers! Don’t take our word for it, though—see the video right here! At right, the Limited Edition Shelby® GT Stratocaster. |
