Lark Guitars is proud to introduce our latest custom installment of Fender Custom Shop guitars: the Golden Zebra. Playability, balance, versatility, and power define this exceptional build.
Featuring a balanced alder body and a '60s "C" one-piece quarter-sawn roasted flame maple neck, this guitar blends classic design with a modern twist. With 22 jumbo frets, a 12" radius, and a headstock truss rod adjustment, this Strat is built for effortless playability—because who wants to remove their neck for routine maintenance? Easy and fast, just the way it should be.
The relic nitrocellulose finish offers the perfect amount of wear—subtle yet striking. A matched set of hand-wound Texas Special pickups delivers iconic Texas Strat tones, while a hand-wound Bare Knuckle VHII in the bridge adds a slightly overwound classic PAF character. We absolutely love this pickup for its balance of clarity and power—it cleans up beautifully, cuts through the mix, and brings the fire when needed.
Looks, tone, feel, and playability come together for a perfectly balanced playing experience.
