Description
What makes this guitar special? This is a unique build that essentially crosses the look of one guitar with the tone and response of another. The body is nicely contoured in the back similar to a deluxe version and also features some beautiful figuring with highlighted grain patterns. The neck shows similarly great figuring for maple and has a slight tint to give it a bit of a vintage vibe. The soft V shape is perfect for players who like a full-in-hand profile and gives the guitar that much more of a unique build. The SSS configuration and pickups produce a tone similar to the traditional guitar they come outfitted in, but have a bit more of a warm response with slightly less pronunciation in the midrange, but is pleasant nonetheless. In addition, contrary to most guitars that shape this shape, this guitar comes outfitted with a tremolo bridge, which adds a whole new dimension to an already distinct guitar.
Condition: This guitar is in excellent condition overall. Outside of light surface scratches throughout the body and neck, it is very clean and looks fantastic. The frets show only light wear and still have a ton of life left in them. The neck is straight and the truss rod functions as it should.

Playability/Sound: The soft v shape neck on this guitar is perfect for the player who loves the full-in-hand feel. The pickups sound similar to the standard Strat configuration, but in this body end up being a bit warmer with slightly less midrange punch, but a very nice sound nonetheless.
Case: Includes hardshell case.
