In 1975, sculptor Jon Douglas felt that most guitars looked "boring", and Ivor Arbiter, the UK distributor of Fender invited him to do better. Douglas came up with a Stratocaster body made from cold-cast bronze, employing a metallic layer over a fiberglass shell. A prototype was made, followed by 6 more models. Arbiter suggested setting rhinestones into the body's surface, and the "Rhinestone Strat" was born. The small batch of Strats were put on sale at the Fender Soundhouse store in London in 1975, but unfortunately a fire destroyed the premises soon afterward. Two were sold prior to the fire, but the other four perished in the flames. In the early 1990's Douglas made molds for a future run of a planned 50. There is a plaque set into the molding on the rear of the body, numbered x out of 50, this being #11. Douglas passed away, though, after only completing 25, making this "Rhinestone Stratocaster" a rare bird indeed! Some of the 25 guitars used actual parts from the 70s, some used modern components, this one is all 70s. A true legend. A true work of art. A rare piece of history!

And:

Douglas was also commissioned in 1974 to produce a sculpted Stratocaster body by Ivor Arbitar, the chairman of the UK Fender distributor and the owner of the famed Sound City music shop in Soho, London. Although the initial run of six sculptured Stratocasters made for Arbitar were destroyed by fire save the prototype that Douglas retained, he later embarked on an independent project to produce a limited edition of 50 sculpted Stratocaster based on the initial run. It is believed that the majority of the second run were made of cold cast bronze but a couple of them were made with aluminium.

And:

This sculpted bronze Strat was part of a limited run in the mid-'70s, based around the work of John Douglas. Douglas used cast bronze over a fiberglass shell, and adorned the whole body with Rhinestones. Very few of these Rhinestone Strats were built, making this a very rare instrument.
