Richard's Fender Stratocaster, of which he's quite proud (the guitar, not necessarily the picture).

Ever since I first saw a picture of Deep Purple's Ritchie Blackmore wielding one of these Strats, in 1980 or so, I was in love. This is a '68 replica with vintage tuners, U-shaped neck and natural finish, just like the one Ritchie played at the time. One of my dreams come true.
