Description
What makes this guitar special? This is a highly-customized Strat perfect for those looking to maximize their shredding potential. The most notable features include a scalloped fingerboard, super jumbo frets, and a brass nut, all of which combine to provide excellent playability and tone respectively. It comes loaded with YJM stacked humbuckers in the neck and middle, along with a HS-3 in the bridge, which all properly exemplify the traditional response in each position, but with a bit more emphasized character. The standard Strat 5-way pickup selector has been replaced with a 3-way, so each pickup stands on its own in terms of tone. Complete with an easy-playing modern C shape maple neck and Vintage White finish, this guitar is the complete package of classic Fender and customized shred machine. Plus, it even includes its original hardshell case and a pro setup so it plays great right out of the case.
Condition: This guitar is in excellent condition overall, if not better. It only shows light scratches and a small ding or dent here or there, but otherwise is in dynamite shape and it shows. It even still has the original tremolo plate plastic and sticker. The frets show only light wear and still have a full lifetime of playing left in them. The neck is comfortable and the truss rod is functioning.
Body: Double cutaway modified-contour alder body in Vintage White. 3-ply mint pickguard. Synchronized tremolo bridge with individually adjustable saddles. Unoriginal aged white plastic control knobs and pickup covers (originals are included).
Neck: Modern C shape maple neck and scalloped maple fingerboard w/ black dot inlays. 1.650” brass nut. 21 super jumbo frets. Fender vintage-style “F” stamped tuning machines.
Electronics: DiMarzio HS-3 in the bridge, YJM stacked humbuckers in the middle and neck. 1 x volume, 2 x tone controls. 3-way pickup selector.
Weight: 8 lbs 2 oz
Playability/Sound: The modern C neck is very easy to play from the nut to the cutaway. The pickups sound good and respond with an almost emphasized tonal structure for each pickup, with a warmer and rounder tone in the neck, a bit more midrange in the middle, and a crisp, jangly sound in the bridge.
Case: Includes original hardshell case and case candy.
