Exit 18 is a straight shot up I-87: no turns, no city traffic, about forty-five minutes from the Empire Plaza.

One we carry is the Fender Vintera III Late '60s Stratocaster. Alder body, maple neck with a round-laminated rosewood fingerboard, Vintage-Style Late '60s Single-Coil Strat (N/M/B), 25.5" (648 mm) scale, Late '60s "C" neck shape.

The Egg at the Empire State Plaza opened on Memorial Day 1978, and its big room, the Kitty Carlisle Hart Theatre, seats 982.

The Drive

Albany is the capital, the big city at the bottom of the Northway, and we're the top of the same map: Glens Falls is the far north end of the Capital District.

About 45 minutes north on I-87. Park in the Cooper Street lot at The Shirt Factory.

Player II

Fender's Player II is built for the stage: a Modern "C" neck with a satin finish on the back, a 9.5-inch-radius fingerboard with rolled edges, and 22 medium jumbo frets. Bodies come in alder, chambered ash, or chambered mahogany depending on the model. Everything here right now is listed under Fender guitars in stock. Want every Fender line we carry, with prices?
