A tidal wave of tone
Three is a magic number. The trio of Custom Shop hand-wound '62/'63 Strat single coil pickups on this guitar will make your riffs soar. They're hot and fiery – but also offer a bit of vintage twang. And their higher output means you get the hugest tone you've ever heard. The bridge position pickup is powerful and punchy – perfect for those crunchy, aggressive rhythm chops and sharp leads.
The neck pickup is creamy and fat, helping your notes reach their full potential. It'll send waves of energy through your licks and inject them with emotion. Your blues bends will have a resounding voice with tonnes of sustain. Then there's the middle pickup, which is twangy and vibrant, whilst having the RWRP setup to kill any annoying hum in positions two and four. You'll be able to handle any style with these powerful pickups at your disposal.
The neck of dreams
A life of luxury. There's nothing quite like having a Custom Shop neck in your hands, knowing it is one of the finest you will ever lay fingers on. The sweet, sleek, smooth riftsawn maple neck on this pristine guitar is of the highest quality. Custom made with the finest attention to detail you can imagine, it offers you everything you could ever desire – smooth fret transitions, comfortable grip, and a beautiful, bright resonance, a comfortable 'C' shape. You'll be able to express yourself cleanly and with complete accuracy all along the fretboard, and your licks will glimmer with character.
Smooth AAA rosewood
Perfectly pristine. Warmth and richness erupt from this supreme rosewood fretboard. It boasts luscious feel and exceptional sustain for an unbelievable response to your playing.

World class hardware
