What Fender guitar is used on the episode of “Made” where a high school girl wants to be made into a rockstar?

I am doing some serious shopping for nice, high-quality electric guitar.
I was wondering if any of you saw the episode of “made” on MTV where a high-school girl wants to be made into a rock star. Her coach gives her an electric guitar that looks like a Fender stratocastor. The color looks blue-ish. I want to know what guitar you think–or know—that it is. Please help me!
Here’s a link to a possible answer that can be confirmed:

http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Fender-American-Vintage-57-Stratocaster-Electric-Guitar?sku=510048

and maybe another:
http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Fender-Vintage-Hot-Rod-62-Stratocaster-?sku=512142

If you have any suggestions on a high-quality Fender (or other guitar) that plays well, is versatile, and is easy on the hands, than please supply them (a link would be very much appreciated.)
Important: It’s the episode where a girl is made into a Battle of the bands singer.

Here’s a link to a picture of the guitar:

Hello! The pictured guitar is an earlier model Fender Telecaster, probably in Blue Agave color (see http://www.fender.com/resources/colors/ ) with a maple neck. In regards to a guitar that meets your needs, you should take a look at reputable manufacturers such as Fender, Gibson, and Ibanez. Suggested model lines would include the Fender American Standard Stratocaster or Telecaster, Gibson Les Paul or SG, and the Ibanez S or SA Series. Trusted on-line sources for musical equipment would include Musician’s Friend ( http://www.musiciansfriend.com/ ), Guitar Center ( http://www.guitarcenter.com/ ), zZounds ( http://www.zzounds.com/ ), Sam Ash ( http://www.samash.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/topCategories_-1_10052_10002 ), and American Musical Supply ( http://www.americanmusical.com/ ). Go to your local guitar store and play a few; once you make your choice, check on-line prices. After you have your guitar in hand, make sure to have it professionally set up for the lowest action possible. Best regards, Dana

Stratocaster Electric Guitar

Fender electric guitars were the first solid body electric guitars to be offered on the mass market. Other companies actually fabricated and sold electric guitars before the Fender Company, but none were as commercially successful as Fender’s. In fact, the general consensus is that it is the Fender Company that is responsible for the electric guitar frenzy that swept through the world of popular music with the introduction of their Fender Telecaster. The Broadcaster was actually the first solid body electric guitar, but Fender made it economically feasible to mass produce it with only a few slight variations in the next model, the Telecaster. Fender’s Telecaster served as the inspiration for other manufacturers to make their own versions of the solid body electric guitar.

Other famous models include the Stratocaster, the Jazzmaster, the Mustang, the Jaguar, and the Duo-sonic. Countless more models exist though they are less known.

Fender electric guitars are manufactured Mexico and Asia as well as in the United States. The highest quality guitars are those made in the US. The Squier brand, also manufactured under the Fender name, is the most economically priced electric guitars and they are produced in the Asian countries.

The Fender Company began as an electronic repair business. Founder Leo Fender began much of his work improving already existing and designing new musical amplifiers. Fender is still known today for its fine quality and innovation in amps.

Some of Fender’s electric guitar signature features include the larger headstock shape and bound necks with block shaped position markers. The neck joint on most electric guitars is a four-bolt joint, but in Fender guitars, it is now a three-bolt joint intended for better sound. Fender electric guitars are also identified by a second string tree for the middle G and D strings. Another signature feature is the semi-hollow body design and completely different headstock of the Fender Stratocaster. This model also incorporates a Humbucking pickup designed by Seth Lover.  Some people maintain that the Fender Standard Stratocaster electric guitar is the guitar that changed the world with its alder body, 21 fret maple neck with a rosewood or maple fretboard, 3 single-coil pickups, a vintage tremolo, and die-cast tuning keys.

The Stratocaster comes in a wide choice of cool colors as well, including Sage Green Metalic, Blue Agave, Brown Sunburst, Midnight Wine, and Arctic White. Such colors add a unique quality to an already awesome guitar.

The Fender electric guitar is an excellent choice for the serious guitarist who wants a famous brand at an affordable price.

The very first guitar I ever played was a Candy Apple Red Fender Stratocaster. It was love at first touch. I wanted that guitar SO bad. I grew up listening to Eric Clapton, David Gilmore and Jimmy Hendrix, and during my college years I was a huge fan of Stevie Ray Vaughn. The Fender Stratocaster was the guitar of choice for these incredible guitar players and many more.

My tasted in guitars evolved as I learned, and I discovered that every guitar had their own personality in my hands. Some were sassy and bright, others were bad and loud, and still others just wanted to sing the blues. One of the coolest parts about owning a music store was being able to play thousands of different guitars of all makes and styles.

But my roots have always been with the Fender Strat. The secret to the amazing tone for the Strat lies in the traditional single could pickups, two piece body and the types of tone woods used to make the guitar. Fender offers the same pickups played by Jimmy Hendrix, or Eric Clapton. Fenders custom shop ‘69 pickups will do the trick, or if you’re into Stevie Ray Vaughn you need Fenders Tex-Mex specials.

Probably the best way to play the same guitar as your guitar heroes is to purchase their signature model. Fender has signature models available for Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Robert Cray, Robin Trower, Rory Gallagher, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Buddy Guy, Yngwie Malmsteen, Eric Johnson and more.

Rather a “c” or “v” neck dressed up in maple or rosewood, nothing feels like a Stratocaster and nothing plays or sounds the same. In everyone’s life a little rain must fall, and in every guitarist life a Stratocaster must be played.

Strat’s are best known for their warm unique tone, but not all Strat’s are created equally. The tonal range will depend on the tone woods used in the neck and body as well as the type and configuration of pickups. When selecting a Strat to purchase take your time and research the various online forums to learn everything about the model you want to purchase. You may even want to visit your local retailer and play a few, just to get a better feel for the playability of the model you desire. Sometimes you may find that what you think you want and what you really like are quite different. Once you are convinced of what you HAVE TO HAVE, you should check out the various online retailers. In most cases you will find better prices on line then at your local store.

Buying your Strat will be one of the best days of your life. So enjoy every moment and remember that you are not purchasing just a guitar, you are purchasing something from your dreams.
