Rekindling the quintessential charm of yesteryears while subtly integrating modern player-centric enhancements, the Fender Custom Shop Postmodern Stratocaster stands as an embodiment of a musical paradox. At first glance, it harks back to the time-tested silhouette of the iconic 3-tone-burst Stratocaster, but delving beneath its surface reveals a treasure trove of innovative features that pave the way for an unparalleled guitar-playing journey.

Rooted in tradition yet audaciously progressive, the core of this Stratocaster is its lightweight, 2-piece alder body, selected meticulously for its weight profile. Echoing the familiar warmth of the '57 Strat, it incorporates the style's deep body contours and a heel cutaway, facilitating effortless upper-fret navigation—a modern guitarist's dream. This sophisticated merger of aesthetics and utility is further amplified by the tastefully aged Black Journeyman Relic finish, exuding an aura of time-honored grace.

The neck and fingerboard form a harmonious synergy of comfort and playability. A rift-sawn maple neck sports a 1959 "D" profile, elegantly marrying with the AAA rosewood fingerboard, adorned with vintage clay dot inlays. The progressive 9.5"-12" compound radius offers an optimal platform for both rhythmic chord work and upper-fret leads, culminating in a balanced playing experience.

Underneath the pickguard, the Postmodern Stratocaster hosts a trio of hand-wound Strat Dual Mag II pickups. Paired with the Strat 1/2 Blender and Tone-Saver controls, this configuration allows you to delve into a world of sonic experimentation. The 1/2 Blender effectively merges the neck pickup into the 1 and 2 positions, extending the palette of tones at your disposal. Furthermore, the Tone-Saver ensures that your highs stay intact even when rolling down the volume, contributing to a more dynamic range of tone control.

The Fender Custom Shop Postmodern Stratocaster is more than a relic of the past—it's a versatile tool for the evolving musician, blending tradition and innovation seamlessly. Each Strat ships with a black FCS hard shell case, certificate of authenticity, and an array of case candy, making it a worthy addition to any guitarist's arsenal. Indeed, this guitar doesn't just mimic the past—it interprets it through the lens of the future, creating an exciting journey into uncharted musical territories.

I love this book. I purchase the audiobook, I wish I had purchased the hardcopy instead. It has so much information that you must read and re-read each chapter in order to gleam all the knowledge it provides.

Much needed in the world we live in.
Format: Paperback
As a black man with Autism, this feel like a much needed read. Even though I just started reading it, this book is relatable to my life because I feel like some of the body of Christ is constantly demonizing Autism as it's like a curse and that to me is a spit to my face especially one who knows and loves God. A must get.

Powerful and Hard-Hitting
Format: Paperback
This book explores how racism and disability justice issues intersect and intertwine, particularly within the American church. Lamar Hardwick writes from his perspective as an autistic Black pastor, and his recent battles with cancer also inform his writing. He takes an incisive look at the ways that people sideline and make judgments about "abnormal" bodies, and he explores how different racist and ableist ideas developed in early American history, primarily related to enslaved Africans. Because I share Hardwick's interest in American history, I was already familiar with most of this information, but it will be new and eye-opening for many readers. Hardwick clearly explains the historical connection between ableism and racism, showing how people justified slavery by arguing that Black people were intellectually inferior, were childlike, and should not have agency over their own lives. Hardwick explores both glaring and subtle implications of this ideology, and he makes a number of very excellent points. He is bold and doesn't mince words, and he explains complicated, abstract ideas in accessible terms. He also touches on a variety of side issues to his main thesis, such as desirability politics, body shame, and issues with grind culture. Hardwick gives examples of how early American Christians contributed to pervasive cultural problems, and he also shares contemporary stories to show how problematic ideas cause harm in real life. His personal stories add a lot to the book, and I appreciate his honesty and vulnerability. I also appreciate how Hardwick uses Scripture throughout the book, especially when he is writing about disability theology. Some similar books focus primarily on personal experiences and secular social justice theories, with only loose Scriptural connections, but Hardwick bases his arguments in specific Bible passages and the big story of Scripture. I disagree with some of his interpretations, but found his arguments significantly more persuasive than ones I've seen before. One confusing, weaker element of this book is that Hardwick begins using "ableism" as a catch-all term for any kind of hierarchy of human value. Even though different forms of discrimination can overlap in complex ways, Hardwick often uses the word "ableism" in cases where there isn't a direct reference to physical or mental abilities. Because he stretches this word's definition, readers who are new to this conversation may struggle to follow his arguments at times. My other critique is that even though Hardwick is accurate and persuasive in his coverage of historical wrongs in the American church, he sometimes makes it sound like all of these issues started with American Christianity. Even though we can trace back particular expressions of racism and ableism to influential people like Cotton Mather, the root issues are part of the human condition. Many Christians throughout time have absorbed harmful ideas from their societies and expressed these assumptions in Christian language, but they weren't inventing these forms of oppression. Also, even though people created specific racist beliefs to justify the institution of slavery, ableism has been an issue in all cultures since the beginning of time. Christianity began in a cultural context where it was normal and acceptable for parents to discard female and disabled infants to die in the elements, and early Christian advocacy is part of why that is so gut-wrenching and unthinkable to us now. Even though Hardwick's analysis is helpful, it's only part of the story. I think that he could have balanced it out better with more context, while still holding the same American historical figures accountable for their sins and failings. "How Ableism Fuels Racism" covers a variety of issues in a thought-provoking, engaging way. I appreciate the author's historical analysis, thoughtful reflections, and personal stories, and I would recommend this book to people who are invested the topic. Also, even though some aspects of this book might be confusing for people who haven't read anything like this before, the author's accessible writing style, clear explanations, and personal stories can help engage readers who are new to the topic. Overall, I was impressed with this book and am interested in reading more from this author.
