The Feel

The 5/4 quartersawn maple neck has a 1957 soft “V” shape that fills the palm with a substantial, old-school feel without being sharp. The medium tint nitrocellulose finish is smooth and broken in, and the maple fingerboard and narrow tall frets keep chords comfortable and bends easy. At 7lbs 11oz, the ash body sits light on a strap for a long night.

The Sound

The hand-wound ‘58 Strat pickups bring the bright, articulate sparkle that vintage Strats are known for, with a reverse-wound, reverse-polarity middle pickup that keeps the in-between positions on the 5-position blade switch quiet and glassy. Roll the master volume and two tone controls and the guitar responds with the simple, direct character it has always been known for.

The Look

The Faded Shell Pink nitrocellulose lacquer has been worn in with a Relic finish, with a lacquer back to match. A 54-58 style eggshell pickguard, nickel/chrome hardware, black Micarta side dots, and a 1958 style headstock keep everything true to the era.
